The MYCOWINE project is aimed at improving and enhancing the quality of wine and the resources that make its production possible. The activities to be carried out include carrying out a study of the different biodiversity of the soil in different geographical wine-growing areas; the development of a practical manual for sustainable vineyard management, which serves as a reference when implementing management techniques that promote sustainable management of soil biodiversity and as a training tool for professionals; the development of specific biofertilizers based on mycorrhizal fungi and local bacteria, which can be patented; and the creation of a sustainable soil management seal. Finally, through the development of a rigorous plan for the transfer of results and dissemination, the project will be recognised and identified at the national level and will make it possible to highlight the great commitment made by the wine sector to the promotion of innovation to improve its sustainability and competitiveness, as well as the quality of its products.
