CHILE AND CALIFORNIA: The Wine Is the Land

Abstract: 

Researchers from UC Berkeley and Chile explore the impacts of climate change and strategies for the future of vineyards in California and Chile.

The similarity between vineyard landscapes in Chile and California is striking: both lie in Mediterranean-climate ecosystems made up of twin vegetation types, and both produce some of the world’s best wines. The two regions also face similar difficulties when it comes to balancing an agricultural economy and the environment.
