Wine and Grapes

From organic grape production to the integration of sheep grazing in vineyards, NCR-SARE-funded research is helping vintners and farmers across the region use sustainable practices to battle pests, tap into lucrative markets, and increase yields. Five percent of NCR-SARE’s 20-year research portfolio has been devoted to growing grapes and/or producing wine in ways that boost profits, protect the land, and strengthen communities.
