What eco-friendly measures in viticulture and wine production is Sula adopting?
Eco-friendly measures have a different connotation in India vis-à-vis the West. In India we need to focus on sustainable and low-impact viticultural practices. A certain minimum amount of chemical input is necessary, otherwise one runs the risk of not remaining viable. In the West, four months of snow kills pathogens, whereas here there is continuous growth of vines through the year due to the climatic conditions.However, being environment-friendly is personally very important for me. It is important for the country and the world. It sustains business and the planet. Global warming is leading to changes in climate across the world; temperatures in Nashik too have been going up. Vermiculture of grape skin, seeds and stems; watershed management and an integrated pest- and nutrition-management system are in place at our vineyards.Conserving water and using solar energy are very essential. Reduce, renew and recycle are the buzzwords that are very important to us at Sula. What do you think
