messages from the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future (1988). It is also noted that, \u201cwhile scientists continue to investigate and debate causes and effects, in many cases we already know enough to justify an action. This is true locally and regionally in cases of threats such as:<br \/>desertification, deforestation, toxic waste and acidification;<br \/>and it&#8217;s true globally for threats such as:<br \/>climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, and species extinction&#8221;.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf90049 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf90049\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The objectives of the CAP &#8211; Common Agricultural Policy reform define the importance of social, economic and environmental approaches in order to achieve a sustainable system of agricultural production. This means that each Member State, when defining its CAP Strategic Plan, must reflect these priorities in the design of its programs. In its review of the National Strategic Plans for the implementation of the CAP, the European Commission will assess their consistency with the objectives of the European Green Deal and monitor progress toward achieving them.<\/p>\n<p>For all these reasons, the definition of sustainability initiatives in the agricultural sector (whether sectoral, regional or national) are extremely important to guarantee the dissemination of practices and to support the differentiation of production in consumer markets. The wine sector, due to its territorial, economic, social and environmental importance, can lead this \u201cpath\u201d and play its role in achieving the sustainability objectives. This growing importance of the issue of sustainability, particularly in the wine sector, has led the OIV &#8211; International Organisation of Vine and Wine&nbsp;to lead the discussion on the subject and to share definitions, concepts and operational practices within the sector.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>This benchmark followed the <span style=\"color: #ba2229;\"><b>Resolution OIV-VITI
