SUMMARY:

In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in the demand for organic crops. Specifically in the wine sector, the use of organic and biodynamic management systems has become increasingly relevant, with several of the most renowned wineries adopting organic or biodynamic viticulture. Biodynamic certification is a holistic and sustainable approach to viticulture that focuses on the balanced relationship between soil, plants and the environment. This approach involves agricultural practices that respect the rhythm of nature, and include the use of biodynamic preparations. Demeter certification for viticulture is concerned with ensuring that producers follow biodynamic practices at all stages of wine production, from growing the grapes to bottling. In addition, certification involves a commitment to wine quality and social and environmental responsibility. The present work seeks to understand the Demeter biodynamic certification applied to the production of grapes and wine, for which a case study will be carried out with a group of winemakers from Serra Gaúcha who are in the process of certification. In addition, qualitative and quantitative data and a variety of research methods will be used, including literature review, bibliographic and document analysis. In addition, data collection tools, such as semi-structured interviews and screenings with open and closed questions. The sample units will be composed of biodynamic farms and institutions involved in the certification process. Demeter certification has shown that it can bring many benefits to grape and wine production, such as increasing biodiversity, reducing the use of agrochemicals and improving product quality. But it is also known that every certification implementation process has its challenges, among them the difficulty of biodynamic inputs, the presence of the animal in the agricultural organism, the lack of technical knowledge in biodynamics on the part of the winegrowers. Thus, the main objective of this work is to develop a booklet with the main guidelines for the Demeter certification process for wine and wine, using didactic material and accessible language. All this so that the producer can not only have quality products, but can also meet a growing market demand and add value to his brand and his product.
