European winegrowers are experiencing increasing competitive pressure and challenges due to climate change. At the same time, wine consumers and winemakers are increasingly seeking more transparency and more sustainable winegrowing practices. So far, ICT-based traceability solutions for the wine value chain have paid little attention to relevant processes in the vineyard, like the management of water, energy and chemicals as well as greenhouse gas fluxes.
The Project focuses on achieving such key objectives:
🍇 Employment of growth models and sensors to monitor environmentally relevant processes at the vineyard
🍇 Use of advanced digital farming technology to implement precision farming practices and utilise machine data
🍇 Development of a data platform to aggregate data from an IoT network, incorporate relevant models and algorithms, and provide interfaces for information exchange between different stakeholders.
