Soil&WineResidues will promote a production model based on the circular economy and eco-efficiency in the wine sector, involving the proper management of soil and lignocellulosic waste
Descripción
The SUDOE area has the largest concentration of vineyards in the European Union. Over the next three years (2025–2028), the Soil&WineResidues project will work to promote a more sustainable wine production model based on the principles of the circular economy.
What is the objective of Soil&Wines?
The aim of the project is to achieve soil sustainability through the eco-efficient in situ use of lignocellulosic residues (LCR) generated in vineyards to improve soil health and quality, develop commercial products and generate renewable energy, thereby reducing dependence on external inputs and improving the agroecological health of the wine-growing system.
To address this challenge, the state of the art of wine-growing soils, their health/quality and the situation of their ecosystem services, the current management of soil-vineyard systems and the measures to be implemented to achieve the sustainability or recovery of these systems will be analysed, highlighting the potential of LCR within the eco-efficiency-biorefinery approach.
In addition, the factors that promote/hinder the implementation of a circular economy and eco-efficiency model in the sector will be identified.
The project seeks to boost the development of rural areas through the efficient use of resources, attracting human capital and strengthening the competitiveness and resilience of the wine sector in the face of climate change and future crises.
Consortium
The Soil&WineResidues consortium is made up of 15 entities with extensive experience in different areas related to viticulture, agroecological health of the system and sustainability.

Objetivo: 1.1 Desarrollar y mejorar las capacidades de investigación e innovación y asimilar tecnologías avanzadas
In this case, cross-border collaboration will take place between wineries and research centres in France, Spain and Portugal, combining their specialities to make better use of lignocellulosic waste (LCW) generated in the wine sector. All wineries in the SUDOE area face the challenge of improving their competitiveness in a global market and their resilience to crises.

Objetivo: 1.1 Desarrollar y mejorar las capacidades de investigación e innovación y asimilar tecnologías avanzadas
The experimental areas are located in central France, north-western Spain and southern Portugal and belong to very different soil and climate zones, with diverse socio-economic characteristics. However, they face common challenges such as loss of soil organic matter and increased water stress due to climate change. All of this leads to a loss of microbial life and, consequently, soil fertility. Other soil problems in these areas include the impact of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers.
