SOSVITI

Soil erosion and degradation pose significant threats to agricultural sustainability, food security, and economic stability. Addressing these challenges requires multidisciplinary approaches that integrate scientific research, stakeholder engagement, and technological innovation. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SOSVITI project aims to develop soil erosion models, understand stakeholders’ perspectives, and create a decision support system (DSS) for vineyard management. The project will focus on developing solutions to improve soil health, reduce erosion risk, understand social factors, and promote sustainable practices. It will emphasise the integration of various fields of study and knowledge sharing, using AI, big data analytics, and cloud computing to address the impacts of climate change and advocate for the conservation of agricultural ecosystems.

Soil erosion and degradation pose significant threats to agricultural sustainability, food security, and economic stability. Despite awareness, conservation measures are often neglected due to barriers such as cost and information gaps. Addressing these challenges requires multidisciplinary approaches integrating scientific research, stakeholder engagement, and technological innovation. The project aims to develop comprehensive soil erosion models, understand stakeholders' perceptions, and create a decision support system (DSS) for vineyard management. The objectives include developing innovative solutions, enhancing soil health, mitigating erosion risk, understanding social factors, and promoting sustainable practices. The project emphasises multidisciplinary integration and knowledge transfer, leveraging advances in artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and cloud computing to address the impacts of climate change and promote agricultural ecosystem conservation.

The proposal will be developed by 9 partners from 4 European countries, with 5 academic organisations and 4 SMEs with different backgrounds.
