Abstract

Grapes are one of the most widely cultivated and economically important fruit crops in the world. However, conventional grape production faces many challenges, such as soil degradation, environmental pollution, pest and disease outbreaks, and consumer demand for high-quality and safe products. The organic grape production relies on various methods, such as molecular marker-based methods, biotechnology and genome editing, biomass-based fertilizers application, cropping methods etc. The organic grape production can improve the quality and safety of grape products, such as fresh grapes, raisins, and wine, by reducing the residues of synthetic chemicals and increasing the content of antioxidants, phenolics, and other beneficial compounds. Organic grape production can also mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions and climate change impacts of grape cultivation by enhancing the carbon sequestration and reducing the energy use and fossil fuel consumption. The main aims in this chapter discuss the utilization of new organic methods in grape production in an sustainable and economic viable manner. This chapter highlighted the different factors related to improve the soil health, crop quality, and environmental performance in relation with grape cultivation.
