The grapevine industry is confronted with challenges such as plant stress from environmental factors and microbial infections, alongside the need for sustainable waste management practices. Natural polymers offer promising solutions to these issues due their biocompatibility, biodegradability, functional versatility. This review explores dual role of natural in enhancing industry: protective agents against various stressors carriers delivery valuable compounds recovered wastes. We examine use chitosan, alginate, cellulose formulating bio-based coatings treatments that bolster resistance abiotic stress, pathogens, pests. Additionally, delves into innovative utilization residues, including skins, seeds, stems, sources polyphenols other bioactive compounds. These can be efficiently encapsulated polymer matrices applications agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals. Key topics include mechanisms action, benefits, limitations polymer-based interventions, well case studies demonstrating practical implementation vineyards. also addresses future research directions, emphasizing integrated approaches enhance sustainability economic viability industry.
