🍇 “Resist Me… If You Can!”: A serious game to preserve grapevine disease resistance and enhance vineyard durability The deployment of grapevine varieties resistant to downy mildew and powdery mildew is accelerating. However, these natural resistance traits remain vulnerable to the adaptive capacity of pathogens. Given the risk of resistance breakdown, ensuring the long-term durability of this plant material has become a major technical challenge. To help explain these complex mechanisms, the Institut français de la vigne et du vin (IFV) and the partners of the GrapeBreed4IPM EU Project have developed an innovative educational tool. 💡 A Knowledge-Sharing Tool for Training and Advisory Services This cooperative game puts participants in the role of vineyard managers. The objective? Protect the vineyard while optimizing the use of inputs. - Systems-thinking approach: Understand how management decisions affect vineyard sustainability. - Active learning: Ideal for delivering training sessions for students, winegrowers, advisors, and technical specialists. 🛠️At a glance: ·      👥 4 players or teams | ⏱️ ~45-60 minutes ·      🆓 Free download of the game boards and rules in 5 languages ·      🇪🇺 Project funded by the European Union 👉 Support the transition towards more sustainable practices: download the complete toolkit for free from our website: https://lnkd.in/eGDPQsAn #Viticulture #Agroecology #Durability #IntegratedPestManagement #SeriousGame #IFV #GrapeBreed4IPM  Project funded by the European Commission under the #HorizonEUProgramme (GA 101132223) and the Swiss Confederation (SERI No. 24.00152 plus CH-Kreutz).
