The International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA) has released the first benchmark for measuring and reporting vineyard soil carbon sequestration. Collaborating with the Porto Protocol Foundation and others, the SOC Sequestration Compilation Project includes data from sixteen vineyard projects across twelve wineries in Europe and the Americas.

IWCA emphasizes that soil carbon results should be viewed as trajectories over time, influenced by local conditions. The findings highlight the potential of regenerative viticulture to support climate action and improve soil health, with the project set to evolve as more data is collected.
