PRR - Vine & Wine PT: SOLVIT - Solutions to restore degraded Soils in Mediterranean vineyards via Organic mulch and biochar derived from Viticulture industry waste
ONGOING
The SOLVIT project aims to design new solutions based on the combined use of different soil management practices to reverse soil degradation in low-fertility vineyards that are highly vulnerable to soil erosion and to demonstrate their effect at multiple scales.
The innovative restoration treatments consist of the combined use of biochar and mulches, with the dual aim of mitigating erosion and improving soil health, including carbon stabilisation without compromising grape and wine quality. In addition, in order to boost the circularity of the sector, different biochars will be tested, to be obtained from waste from the wine industry, such as stalks or pruning wood.
This is a sub-project of the PRR Mobilising Agenda - Vine & Wine PT - "Vine and Wine Portugal - Driving Sustainable Growth Through Smart Innovation", coordinated by UTAD in partnership with ADVID/CoLAB VINES&WINES, ISA, Global Wines and the University of Évora.
