On November 12th 2019, our partners made a presentation about VISCA DSS where practical information from the project was shared with vineyards growers of Raimat and Agropixel. Interesting exchanges were made with the participants and the feedback was gathered as inputs for exploitation activities.

The aim of VISCA DSS is to integrate climate and agricultural models with farmers’ management specifications in order to design short practices, medium- and long-term adaptation strategies to climate change.

The XI International Workshop on Sap Flow took place in Hyytiälä, Finland from 8^th - 11^th October 2019.The workshop addressed topics concerning plant - water relations and their measurement and was centred on plant water transport.
