Fourth Paragraph: My UC Davis colleagues and I conducted the 2011 Lodi Winegrape Grower Survey and the 2013 Lodi Winery Survey. The LWC was instrumental in the success of this landmark study, and the results have been published in Practical Winery and Vineyard, the LWC’s IPM newsletter and the Center for Environmental Policy and Behavior’s series of Research Briefs. The Lodi surveys were part of a larger California-wide study of winegrape grower and winery manager adoption of sustainability practices, the effectiveness of local grower organizations (including the LWC) at achieving various goals, and the role social networks of knowledge sharing among growers, winery managers, and outreach professionals play in learning about vineyard and winery management.
