La Voz de Lanzarote reports that winegrowers in the Canary Islands, Galicia and Catalonia are joining the PENVITIS+ project to test artificial intelligence, drones and regenerative vineyard techniques on steep and difficult terrain. Backed by almost €600,000 in public funding, the project aims to develop AI models capable of anticipating at least 80% of pest and disease incidents, reduce phytosanitary treatments by 30%, and use drones to cut manual labour on steep vineyards by a similar amount. Trials will run through the 2026, 2027 and 2028 growing seasons, including vineyards with slopes reaching 70%, while regenerative practices will also be assessed for their ability to reduce heat stress, conserve moisture and protect grape quality as temperatures rise.
