A cooperative whose members own 2,800 hectares of vineyards in northeastern Italy is reportedly attempting to help reverse climate change by drawing carbon into the soil.
Their agronomic practices that allow more CO2 to be added into the soil than is emitted for cultivation include reduction of tillage through precision farming, minimal or no plowing, use of organic fertilizers, grassing between rows with field beans or herbs, use of pruning waste, and adding organic matter to the soil.
