Cultivating a sustainable future for vineyards through innovation and collaboration
At SOSVITI (Sustainable Soil Management Decision Support System in Viticulture), we are dedicated to transforming vineyard sustainability by tackling one of agriculture’s greatest challenges: soil degradation. Climate change and intensive agricultural practices threaten vineyard ecosystems, making soil erosion a pressing issue that affects both productivity and environmental resilience.
Our project brings together scientific research, stakeholder engagement, and cutting-edge technology to develop an innovative Decision Support System (DSS) tailored for viticulture. By integrating AI, big data analytics, and satellite monitoring with fieldwork and process-based models, we aim to provide vineyard managers with precise tools to mitigate soil erosion, enhance soil health, and promote sustainable farming practices.
Beyond technology, we recognize the importance of social and economic factors in sustainable viticulture. We actively engage with vineyard stakeholders, addressing barriers such as cost, knowledge gaps, and gender disparities in agriculture. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that sustainability is not just an ideal but a practical, scalable solution for the future of European viticulture.
