-------------

The unprecedented impacts of climate change are severely affecting the agriculture sector and grapes are no exception to other crops. Premium wine-grapes are especially sensitive to the local climate, where variations modify grapes’ quality (acidity-, sugar-, alcoholic levels) and quantity. Such changes directly affect the European wine industry which encompasses some of the most recognised wine regions worldwide.

This is why the consortium of 'Vineyards´Integrated Smart Climate Application (VISCA)', an EU-funded project (H2020), has designed a Decision Support System (DSS), which integrates climate and agricultural models with farmers’ management specifications in order to design short practices, medium- and long-term adaptation strategies to climate change.
