LIFE VitiCaSe project is an initiative co-funded by the EU LIFE Programme, aimed at revolutionizing sustainable viticulture in Italy. The project focuses on enhancing Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) through innovative carbon farming practices in vineyards, addressing the critical challenge of turning soil from a carbon source back into a carbon sink. By leveraging state-of-the-art agronomic techniques and collaborating with esteemed partners like CREA Agriculture and Environment (CREA-AA) and CREA Policies and Bioeconomy (CREA-PB) and Image Line, LIFE VitiCaSe seeks to not only preserve Italy’s renowned wine production but also contribute significantly to global climate change mitigation efforts.
Through the development of a pilot business model for promoting land-based CO2 removals, supported by an advanced IT tool for Carbon Credits certification, the project aims to increase carbon stocks in agricultural soils, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and create a replicable framework for climate-smart agriculture in the viticulture sector.
