You can make a difference. Our research is driven by a shared passion for wine and its immeasurable cultural impact. Our wish is to help international winemakers ensure that future generations enjoy the gift of wine within an environmentally respectful context—and in the context of extreme water scarcity and increasing heat—to help them adapt, diversify, or migrate. Even more, we hope our research can be used to create resilience and mitigation strategies in viticulture and other luxury and staple crops. We are building a free listing of producers, growers, and supporters who subscribe to dry-farming or rainfed irrigation methods. If you wish to be part of this conversation, please email us using the form below. We would love to hear your story and contact you for interviews or research input.
