Definitions
Dry farming (also referred to as dryland farming) is the practice of retaining moisture from winter rainfall in the soil so to sustain the plant during its growing season in arid regions without irrigation.
Water footprint measures the amount of water used to produce a good, service, or crop. It is comprised of green (rainfall), blue (freshwater, surface and ground), and gray (recycled) water. Terroir is the term used in the wine industry to denote the taste of a wine’s climatic specificity (soil type, exposition (elevation and slope), grape variety).
Vitis vinifera is a species of Vitis, the common grape vine that is indigenous to Europe and the Mediterranean region, central Europe, and south-western Asia.
Old World refers to the Vitis vinifera’s indigenous regions, primarily in Europe.
New World refers to the countries where the Vitis vinifera was transported via migration, such as the USA, Chile, Argentina, South Arica, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
