Vineyard soil sustainability and eco-efficient use of viticultural waste

Descripción

The SUDOE region, a wine-growing area with a thousand-year-old tradition, boasts the largest vineyard surface area in the EU and is the world’s leading wine producer. The wine sector in this area faces challenges such as deteriorating soil health/quality, the management of lignocellulosic residues (LCR) generated, and the impact of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. The Soil&WineResidues project aims to move towards a production model based on the circular economy. By combining various technological approaches, it proposes the eco-efficient “in situ” utilization (without transfer to a treatment plant) of LCR generated in vineyards, to improve soil health/quality, develop commercial products, and obtain renewable energy. To address this challenge, the project will examine the state-of-the-art regarding vineyard soil types, their health/quality status and ecosystem services, current soil-vineyard system management, and measures to implement for the sustainability or recovery of these systems, along with the role LCR can play through the eco-efficiency-biorefinery tandem. Factors that promote/hinder the implementation of a circular economy and eco-efficiency model, leading to appropriate soil and LCR use, will be identified. Additionally, two pilots (field and laboratory scale) will be established with stakeholders from each area, allowing for the assessment of initial soil health/quality and its evolution, the potential use of LCR, and the study of common pesticides. This will enable decision-making at a territorial scale in different vineyards with similar characteristics, transfer and capitalize on results transnationally through more holistic vineyard management in the SUDOE area, enhance rural development by effectively utilizing the productive resources and capacities of its industries, thereby attracting human capital, and increase both the competitiveness and resilience of the wine sector against climate change and future crises.
