Biodiversity consists of the practices designed to increase the diversity of genetic, species, and ecosystem elements to provide a natural resource for the vineyard to minimize pesticide usage.

1. Areas for ecological compensation are to cover at least 5% of the farm surface (excluding commercial forests). This includes areas such as hedges, non-farmable ground, field boundaries, streams and ditches, and other agricultural surfaces that receive no input of fertilizers or pesticides
2. The encouragement of flowering plants in the vineyard to provide habitat and food for beneficial predators and parasitoids
