EVEF Series: Addressing Climate Change Change Challenges

In this webinar, we’ll analyze weather patterns in different cultivation areas, explore new crop insurance options for grape growers, and learn from panelists about managing climate change’s impact on vineyards.

Climate change and dynamic weather patterns challenge management in agricultural production systems; what “worked” during one season may not be as effective in another season if weather patterns differ. In vineyards, productivity and quality potential are threatened by weather patterns that can result in early bud break, kill primary grapevine buds, perturb growth and vigor, amplify disease prevalence, and/or limit grape and wine quality potential, to name a few. During this session, weather patterns will be reviewed across several growing regions, new and updated crop insurance options for commercial grape growers will be reviewed, and grower panelists will review their approaches to dealing with climate change and/or mitigating climate change through vineyard management strategies.
