As our climate continues to shift, the implications for industries like ours are profound. From altering growing conditions to impacting grape quality, pest and disease management, water availability, and overall sustainability, the effects are far-reaching. For grape growers, understanding and adapting to these changes is crucial to safeguarding the future success of their vineyards.
At NVG, we're committed to offering top-notch education to grape growers and being their advocate for industry sustainability across generations. A cornerstone of this mission is providing comprehensive education on the fundamental aspects of climate impact within the agricultural context. |
