Description of the measure

Use of compost from different local resources (winery leftovers, manure, waste) to increase organic matter content

Comments on sustainability

The use of compost coming from agricultural residues and agrifood waste helps local stakeholders to close nutrients cycles and to enhance soil conditions (organic matter increasement, nutrients cycle and structure improvement, better water retentino, erosion decreasement, and biodiversity improvement). It may suppose economic savings against other fertilization methods.
