LACCAVE: ten years of partnered research for the adaptation of viticulture to climate change

The LACCAVE project is coming to an end after ten years of work on the adaptation of viticulture to climate change. Since 2012, this project – which was financed and coordinated by INRAE, and carried out in partnership with the CNRS, universities, the Institut Agro and Bordeaux Sciences Agro, as well as the main organisations in the sector, i.e. the INAO, FranceAgriMer, the Chambers of Agriculture, the IFV, inter-professional associations and the organisations protecting the designations of origin – has brought together around a hundred researchers to study the conditions for adaptation to climate change in the wine sector.

The project came to an end in Montpellier with a scientific seminar (24th-26th November 2021) followed by a series of conferences and participatory workshops at the SITEVI trade show (30th November-2nd December 2021). The conclusions of the researchers involved underlined the fact that the impacts of climate change on vineyards are becoming more pronounced, but that solutions for adaptation are possible if the increase in average temperature is contained to less than 2°C, and if the joint mobilisation of the stakeholders of the sector, of public authorities and of the research sector is maintained.

The LACCAVE project was supported at INRAE by the ACCAF metaprogramme (Adaptation to Climate Change in Agriculture and Forestry).
