Recent Advances in Viticulture and Enology (RAVE)
Learn how to increase the sustainability of winery and vineyard operations. The concept of sustainability has been broadened to include many practices, some of which in fact are not sustainable. RAVE 2010 will focus on sustainability as meaning a minimal environmental impact or footprint and include discussion of practices that sustain viticulture environments (air, water and soil) capable of production of high quality wine grapes, table grapes, raisin grapes, and of wines, for future generations. These practices include the overall goals of minimizing undesirable impacts on air and water quality and natural biodiversity, and enhancing ecosystem services. Strategies for minimizing winery footprint will also be presented. Presented by the UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology and the Trellis Alliance, RAVE annually shares the latest in applied research with the wine and winegrape industries.
