Extract:
Conventional agricultural management techniques have led to the loss of organic matter in
soil, limiting its ability to support plant growth and act as a carbon sink. The VitiCaSe project team are investigating how sustainable management techniques could lead to the removal of more CO2 from the atmosphere, as Gabriele Mongardi and Simona Palermo explain.“We are investigating how to cultivate vines in a way that can encourage the sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere. This biomass can then be stored in the soils. Digital tools will be developed to support regenerative viticulture.”
“We found that farms were very much ready to look at more sustainable practices when we were developing the project proposal,” continues Mongardi. Pilot Farms involved in the project are Castello di Albola, Ruffino and San Felice Wine Estates. Finally, Carbon Credits Consulting is in charge of the processes aimed at certifying carbon credits, while the farmers’ association UPA Siena and the tech company EZ Lab France are collaborating in the promotion and adoption of the project results in Italy and France respectively.
