The experience of a knowledge sharing & collaboration platform for the wine sectors’ climate change adaptation

Climate change poses important challenges to the agricultural and food value chains, particularly to the wine industry in the Mediterranean area. Identified as a hotspot, these territories however bear valuable experiences to be shared with others that might be exposed to similar climate conditions in the future (climate analogues). This communication shares the experience of the co-construction and life of VINEAS, a collaborative platform that brings actors and projects together and allows for knowledge and solutions sharing on climate issues affecting Mediterranean vineyards. The rationale for this knowledge management proposal is detailed. Then the different stages are described. We then provide a detailed analysis of the successes and limits of the platform, opening a discussion on climate-related knowledge management for the agricultural sector
