The Penn State Grape and Wine team is committed to effectively addressing grape and wine production and quality challenges in the eastern US by fostering strategic relationships across disciplines and institutions.
Soil health has been defined as the soil’s capacity to deliver all requirements for stress-free plant growth while minimizing off-site losses of soil, water, and nutrients to the environment.
The relationship between plants and human health is governed by many factors including plant genetics, environment, and production/processing steps, as well as consumer genetics, diet, and cultural practices.
The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus is an integrative framework for novel research to address complex challenges of sustainable and equitable resource management, economic development, and climate resilience.
