OBSERVATORI INTEL·LIGENT

How can we make our vineyards resilient and survive drought? The 4th Symposium of Regenerative Viticulture, organized with the support of INNOVI, will address different strategies for better use of water resources and greater water retention in soils. Experts and academics will talk about the impact of drought, the evolution of the climate and adaptation to the climate crisis through strategies such as respect pruning, plant covers, agroforestry, keyline design or syntropic agriculture.
