“Not a rejection of a legacy but a next chapter, and a cheaper one too.”
Napa’s growers are already living with a changing climate: shifting growing seasons, increased pest pressures, real costs. This session cuts through to what matters, from the difference between fossil carbon and modern carbon to where the real opportunities lie. Climate-smart practice is not a break from tradition but the next chapter in agricultural innovation.
