This document discusses viticulture and urban wine culture in the Penedès region near Barcelona, Spain. It notes that the Penedès region produces 146 million liters of wine annually within 25 km of Barcelona, but Barcelona's 4.3 million residents alone cannot consume all of the region's production. It questions whether the future of the Penedès region is strictly related to viticulture given challenges competing on price and volume. The document advocates for adding value to wines and integrating viticulture into the broader agricultural sector through research, development, innovation and sustainable practices.

Valladolid is transitioning towards a circular economy with 3000 employees committed. The city signed the Seville Declaration in 2017 to promote circular economy among cities. Valladolid created a roadmap with 5 steps - define approach, make a diagnosis, raise awareness, promote circular businesses, and position the city as circular. It offers subsidies up to 25,000 euros for circular economy projects in areas like training, awareness, research, and new products. Over 50 projects have received funding. Valladolid also hosts a Circular Weekend event and will have a Circular Lab entrepreneurship hub. The city is a case study for the OECD programme on circular economies in cities.
Here are a few reflections on your cultural experience:
- Connecting with your Mexican heritage by visiting the East side of Joliet was a meaningful way to learn about your cultural roots. Experiencing an area with predominantly Spanish signs and Hispanic-owned businesses gave you a glimpse into the culture of that community.
- It's interesting that just by traveling to a different neighborhood, the linguistic and small business landscape changed significantly. This shows how cultures can be concentrated geographically.
- Your parents provided a useful starting point by recommending the East side as an area to experience Mexican culture. Even though they didn't deeply expose you to that culture growing up, they helped you take this step to learn about it now.
Tuscan regional policies for short food supply chainsVanessa Malandrin

The document discusses UNIDO's approach to establishing origin consortiums to help rural producers in developing countries. It provides examples of origin consortiums established in Peru with UNIDO's assistance that helped networks of small producers collectively market and brand traditional regional products. These consortiums improved producers' incomes, employment, and rural development by increasing product quality, implementing marketing strategies, and protecting product reputations through collective trademarks. The document emphasizes that origin consortiums are most effective when part of broader local development strategies that also involve tourism to create demand for unique regional products.

5. Models of Agriculture in

Is the Penedes Area within the influence of Barcelona?
Is there territorial planning or agricultural politics
involving wine and the Penedes?
Is the future of Penedes strictly related only to
viticulture?
Is the Penedes more dependent of Barcelona than of
other winegrowing areas?
14. Models of Agriculture in
Barcelona Metropolitan Area
Is the Penedes Area within the influence of Barcelona?
Within distance?........ More or less
Created in 1960: protection origin&quality
5700 viticulturalists; 270 wineries; 148
companies; 150 to 200 million liters/year
Year 2009/10: 24000 Ha (19000 white grapes)
Year 2000/01: 27000 Ha (22000 white grapes)
Production: 146 million liters in 2008
(RDCOPenedès)
(IDESCAT) Barcelona (Metrop.) is around 4.3 million people (2000)
(RCDOPenedès) Total production in 2008 was 146 million liters
146 Ml./ 4.3 Ml. = 34 lit/persxyear
15. (OIV) Wine consumption in Spain 2010/11 = 22 l/pers x year
(OIV) Wine consumption in Spain 1987/88 = 47 l/pers x year
(OEMV) Up to 2006
(OEMV) After 2006
consumption decreased
consumption decreased
in quantity but
in both quantity and
increased in
quality/value
quality/value
REASONS:
- Drink and drive new strict laws
- Restaurant vs home consumption
inversion
- New trends due to new social
tendencies: low alcohol, appealing
labels, new tops…
- World/spanish recession
- etc
16. According to Penedès numbers:
Barcelona (Metro.) cannot consume today’s production
No BASIC commodity of diet but IMPORTANT
Consumption trends are changing
Depression means sales decrease…. also
Barcelona (Metro.) relies more and more on export
Barcelona (Metro.) is a target/competitive market: (INCAVI
2008) only 1 out of 5 bottles consumed in Catalunya-
Barcelona is produced in Catalonia; 2 from Rioja
Barcelona (Metro.) is a great potential public (25 km away)
for consumption, promotion, tourism…
4.3 million people
10 million visitors/year
17. Models of Agriculture in
Barcelona Metropolitan Area
Is the Penedes Area within the influence of Barcelona?
Is there territorial planning or agricultural politics

Is the Penedes more dependent of Barcelona than of
other winegrowing areas?
20. Models of Agriculture in

Is the Penedes Area within the influence of Barcelona?
Is there territorial planning or agricultural politics
involving wine and the Penedes?.... Who knows!
Is the future of Penedes strictly related only to

Is the Penedes more dependent of Barcelona than of
other winegrowing areas?
21. Models of Agriculture in
Barcelona Metropolitan Area
Is the Penedes Area within the influence of Barcelona?
Is there territorial planning or agricultural politics
involving wine and the Penedes?
Is the future of Penedes strictly related only to
viticulture?
Cannot compete in price
Cannot compete in volume… nor qualities…
THE ANSWER IS NO
Is the Penedes more dependent of Barcelona than of
other winegrowing areas?
22. Models of Agriculture in
Barcelona Metropolitan Area
What to do ???????
Pull out vineyard acreage:……. Economicaly unfeasible
Pull out vineyard acreage:……. No because market is not
Barcelona but the World; it makes no sense
Replace vines: by what?...... Not possible (climate, soil,
water supply, culture, know-how, difficulty in
reconversion of a Sector that is responsible for more
than 2% of GDP, etc
23. Models of Agriculture in
Barcelona Metropolitan Area
What is POSSIBLE to do:
Look for realistic added value of commodity: stop lowering
prices!!!
Study integration of commodity in overall agriculture (region,
estate, continent, world)
Restructuring of sector according to studies of
strenghts/weaknesses report: enotourism, legacy,
complementing tourism, etc
Research + Development + Innovation …. and Implementation
with control/redesign/reimplementation bucle strategy
24. Models of Agriculture in
Barcelona Metropolitan Area
Is happening: Should happen
Lack in reference Valid questionnaires +
Modelisation + proactive
figures (diluted in decisions + evaluation of
competent authorities results + redesign +
and privates) reimplementation +
reevaluation….
Results: subjective,
By independent group/s
vague, conditionned,
numerous but Scientific method
inconsistent…
Objectives marked by
Goals: if any… partially politicians & method and
implementation by
or not achieved technicians
25. Models of Agriculture in
Barcelona Metropolitan Area
Important things to look after:
Culture: wine is part of a “daily” CULTURE
Landscape: vineyards vs ?????
Sustainability: to avoid all sorts of erosion/degradation
Agricultural income: enough to maintain it all
Which One Is Most Important?
All of them !!
