On Thursday, 23 April, the cross-border project AI-GRAPE was featured on Radio RAI FVG during the programme What a Wonderful World, hosted by Maria Pedone and broadcast at 13:29. Follow the link to listen to the registration.
The episode explored how artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a concrete tool in agriculture, helping the sector respond more effectively to climate change while improving sustainability and decision-making processes. At the centre of the discussion was the AI-GRAPE project, which aims to support vineyard management through advanced digital technologies and intelligent monitoring solutions.
Guests of the programme included Vanessa Sanson (Area Science Park) and Federico Longobardi (Primo Principio), who presented the project’s objectives, activities and expected impacts. They highlighted the strategic role of digital innovation in addressing environmental challenges and supporting the transition towards more resilient agricultural systems.
The broadcast also opened a broader reflection on artificial intelligence: while it often raises questions and concerns, it already represents a practical and effective tool for improving quality of life and reducing environmental impact — especially through locally developed innovation initiatives such as AI-GRAPE.
This radio appearance represents an important visibility opportunity for the project and confirms the growing interest in technological solutions supporting sustainable agriculture and the future of viticulture.
