The environmental strategies of champagne producers – Motivation for and barriers to transition and certification[Les stratégies environnementales des producteurs de champagne - Motivation et freins à la transition et à la certification]

In a context of strong evolution of ecologic concerns, we study the motivations and obstacles of champagne producers to the environmental transition and certification through the prism of the value chain. We highlight the individual strategies at work. We also raise the difficulties inherent to organic certification, which is not adapted to the constraints of champagne production. Finally, we identify levers of action in order to better take into account the specificities of the industry and thus favour the transition.
