Extended description
The SIVITIS project aims to develop and implement innovative models and advanced digital technologies for the ecological and energy transition of the viticulture system.
Through an integrated approach combining agronomic research, environmental monitoring, and resource optimization, the Edmund Mach Foundation aims to define replicable sustainability standards for resilient, low-environmental-impact wine supply chains.
In line with the ecological transition objectives of the PNRR sub-measure M2C1I3.4, the SIVITIS project addresses crucial challenges in modern viticulture: reducing the use of chemical inputs, increasing water resource efficiency, and decarbonizing production processes.
The Edmund Mach Foundation coordinates the experimental activities, focusing on technology transfer and the validation of best practices in the field. The project involves the application of Decision Support Systems (DSS), IoT sensors for microclimatic monitoring, and the study of soil biodiversity to enhance vineyard resilience against climate change. SIVITIS serves as a strategic bridge between scientific research excellence and the practical needs of the wine sector, promoting a model of circular economy and total traceability throughout the supply chain.
Expected results
Developing cutting-edge agronomic protocols to reduce the carbon and water footprint in viticulture.
- Integrating digital technologies and smart farming (precision agriculture) to optimize phytosanitary treatments.
- Monitoring and preserving biodiversity within agro-viticultural systems.
- Disseminating and transferring results to wineries to accelerate the adoption of certifiable sustainable standards.
