The Mosel wine region in Germany is facing challenges such as climate change and the lack of new generations, which are impacting wine production. To address these issues, the European H2020 Diverfarming Project has been implementing the diversification of steep-slope vineyards by introducing aromatic plants like thyme and oregano. A study conducted at the Weingut Dr. Frey winery, led by Trier University, has found that after three years, this practice has not negatively affected wine production and may even improve it by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, increasing soil fertility, and enhancing biodiversity. The research also suggests that the competition between the aromatic cover and grapevines for water and nutrients could potentially improve wine quality. These findings are seen as a way to mitigate the effects of climate change on wine production and to provide added value to the sector through landscape conservation and reduced emissions.

The landscape of sloping vineyards on the banks of the Mosel River in Germany is a characteristic symbol of a region which cannot be understood without its wine: the Mosel wine region. Tourists from all over the world, especially from the neighboring countries of Belgium, Luxembourg, and The Netherlands visit the area in search of mountains and wine. However, the lack of new generations and the increase in temperatures and short heavy summer rainfall events caused by climate change endanger the production of wine. In this sense, the European H2020 Diverfarming Project began in 2018 the diversification of a steep-slope, very stony (up to 70%) ecological vineyard. In the majority of the vineyards, the introduction of herbaceous species for plant cover has become ...
