The Project:

VINNY is a highly innovative 4-year European Project that aims at reducing conventional agrochemicals in viticulture by 50%, mitigating their harmful effects on soils, plants, and the environment. To achieve this goal, VINNY’s nanoBPs and nanoBFs will be developed as sustainable alternatives.
The encapsulation technologies will employ biomaterials, which allow for the stabilization of bioactives and synergistic antimicrobial effects (piezoelectric / electroactive effect).
The effectiveness of these bio-based solutions will be validated in the laboratory (proof-of concept) and in field in four vineyards. Furthermore, VINNY fully aligns with two EU Missions: “A soil deal for Europe” and “Restore our Ocean and Waters” to promote sustainable practices for maintaining healthy soils and effective water management.
