Promoting new organic vineyards with piwi cultivation through disruptive and innovative site refinement and building a new value chain
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-BW-2022-SKBKW
Contract period: 01.01.2022
- 31.12.2024
Budget: 335,237 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: pest/disease control, climate change
With a new value chain and an innovative site improvement process, organic viticulture is to be made possible across the board for conventional winegrowers' and producers' associations and their winegrowers. The need for plant protection is to be reduced by 75% and the environment relieved. At the same time, small conventional wineries (84% of all wineries in Baden-Wuerttemberg with less than 1 ha of vineyards) will be enabled to take the step to organic viticulture in the first place. In order to support the strengthening of biodiversity, we want to actively tackle precisely those areas where it is most urgently needed. With the new grafting method on piwis, which for the first time does not involve yield losses, we can now offer a cost-effective solution and scale the life of vineyards to their maximum. In this way, we ensure the best possible carbon footprint. Our model combines sustainable agriculture and the preservation of traditional structures in viticulture. Our goal for the project period: The initiative to restructure more than 50 ha of vineyards to organic Piwi vines and the marketing of Piwi wines.
