Falcons, Drones, Data: A Winery Battles Climate Change

As everyone knows, California's drought from the world's changing climate is causing us all to have to endure negative effects big and small. One consequence from this would include our wineries. California winemakers are having to face reality head on because of the hotter, drier weather we have. Grapes, the main ingredient for wine, are ripening earlier. The water in aquifers are diminishing, nights are now warmer, etc. The Jacksons, (From Jackson Family Wines) are trying their best to help their crops adapt to climate change. With a sophisticated network of systems, they have employed both old-school and high-tech techniques in order to do so. Because of this, it has become a laboratory

As long as they can keep on making a profit without many problems including their vineyards, they can continuously earn finances. If they have grapes just right to get the job done in making wine delectable for the consumers, people will buy their wine. Their techniques to help them persevere through Californias drought haven't had any cons, so their money earned won't be wasted on that. They would make a profit. However, where there are those who gain benefits, there are those who lose them. Considering this situation, the Jackson families' consumers would be the ones not making a profit. If they use their earnings to buy this wine, they would lose their money during the payment. The provider would earn money, while the consumer would lose money. Nevertheless, If the Jackson families' lives go downhill also, then they would also not gain any earnings. The situation for this winery is not 100% guaranteed going to be all positive, so they might have their ups and downs. Things could still change, and that may not work out well for this company. In my opinion, I agree with the Jacksons' methods of attempting to preserve their winery. There weren't any negative effects included in the article, so why not support it. It doesn't seem to be harmful if they're to continue this procedure of

    I must say you make some good points but I’m still unconvinced. Your opinion is very biased, you only look at the worst things about the reservoir and rarely address the pros the dam has provided. When you do you talk about them it is very briefly. There are many good things the dam has created. The reservoir created by the Glen Canyon Dam has provided many economic benefits.…

    In our society, it is difficult to live our lives without encountering some form of a social gap. These include the wealth and the gender gaps, among some of the less noticeable ones. Perhaps the one that receives the least attention in the United States is the food gap. No, I’m not talking about how bananas are more favored than brussel sprouts. Rather, I am referring to the availability of nutritional foods and how that is limited by one’s economic bracket and geographic location.…

The drought is a hot topic all throughout California right now and Dr. Schwabe presented a new perspective that I had not heard before. I occasionally read literature on California drought, so I had some knowledge on this issue already. What I really enjoyed was that he went into detail explaining how municipalities are attempting to handle the water crisis.…

    Now it is questioned whether the causes of California drought is linked to climate change, or even man-made. The severe atmospheric conditions joint with California’s drought occurrence are far more likely to appear with today’s global warming that have not existed before California citizens relied on the large amount of greenhouse gases. Combinations of unusual warm temperatures for California weather and stagnant air conditions, the loss of precipitation has produced a dangerous uproar with incidents relevant to air pollution, wildfires, and increased evaporation. The high increase in evaporation rates gradually lead to greater drying of soils and vegetation, having the potential to affect the natural land-based and manage ecosystems, coastal systems, and both…

We wanted to know how severe is California drought for farmers, what have they done regarding California drought and what are they going to do if the California drought got severe.…

    Inspired by a forsaken orange that sat in a North Carolina parking lot, Jonathan Bloom wrote American Wasteland to examine the growing problem of food-waste in America. I think Bloom did a tremendous job by presenting this looming issue. His numerous anecdotes pertaining to food-waste creates an innate sense of relatability, which in turn direct readers’ attention to the statistical and logical presentations of the issue. This is an impressive feat because Bloom avoided coming off as preachy or judgmental in a book that attempts to raise awareness of something that general Americans have already decided it’s not important (xvi). As a result, Bloom’s systematic way of examining every aspect of America's habit of wasting food comes off as interesting…

    The aim of this paper is to explore biodynamic farming as it specifically relates to viticulture. Biodynamic practices may have an impact on not only the health of vineyard soil and crop, but also enology. According to Trippetts, Count Carl von Keyserlingk of Germany requested a group of farmers and doctors to address the problem of declining soil and crop quality in Europe (Tippetts, 2012). Biodynamics was developed to answer this request.…
