VISCA featured at Deutsche Welle (DW)

A new article has been published by DW entitled "In Europe, climate change brings new crops, new ideas" which presents the potential changes of crops due to climate change & the possible solutions. It presents part of the interview made with the project coordinator and other partners in the project:
""Climate change is posing a risk for the sustainability of vineyard management at global scale and, particularly, in Europe," said Josep Maria Sole of VISCA (Vineyards Integrated Smart Climate Application), an EU-funded project that aims to help Europe's wine industry develop medium- and long-term adaption strategies. He said wine producing areas will increasingly suffer from intense heat waves and droughts and, in certain regions in Spain, more intense spring frosts, which can damage grapevine buds."
