The VitiGEOSS project has been represented in a session held within the webinar series “Sustainable adaptation to drought in the Aconcagua Valley” organised by the Netherlands Water Partnership and celebrated last June 16th.
The webinar series is focused on exploring the European demand for sustainable products and to exchange knowledge and expertise on water management for agriculture, as well as sustainable practices and innovation technologies to cope with drought and increase best practices for agricultural producers.
