Postgraduate certificate Viticulture

Vine cultivation is being severely affected by high temperatures. With climate change and the collapse of natural resources, times of agri-food crisis are also predicted. For this reason, today's wine companies are already reinventing themselves by applying technology and Artificial Intelligence to farm control. The industry has also been mechanized and, in this way, has managed to reduce the environmental impact while increasing production. Key to this task is the work of engineers who implement new vertical production methods, drone monitoring techniques and more efficient crop maintenance. TECH has developed a program that delves into the intricacies of Viticulture to increase and update the knowledge of professionals who wish to join this sector. All this, through a 100% online qualification.

Introduction to the Program

Understand the role of terroir as a fundamental element in the expressiveness of wines in just 6 weeks with a 100% online program"

##IMAGE##

In a context in which the planet's resources are finite and rising temperatures are becoming increasingly latent, the industry must reinvent itself. Sustainability is undoubtedly the challenge to be met by winegrowers. This is the key to the future, in which wine companies will have to reduce their carbon footprint to zero, reducing their production costs and increasing the useful life of their containers, which will be of better quality. At the same time, the changing environment also means that consumers' interests are shifting towards new wines, to which organizations must also adapt.

In this paradigm, it is necessary for agriculture to work in coordination at a global level, on the road to sustainable viticulture. For this reason, and given the scarce supply of specific programs in this discipline, TECH has designed a 100% online program aimed at engineers and other professionals interested in the development of grape harvesting processes. Thanks to this program, students will be trained in the management of vineyards, the respectful treatment of the vine and the correct management of the costs and income of a vineyard.

In addition, TECH is supported by a team of professionals working in this field, who are responsible for writing and presenting all the knowledge of the program. Thanks to their experience and the attention they offer through a direct communication channel, students will be able to solve their questions about the subject, guaranteeing their instruction. In addition, they will have downloadable content in different formats that will provide them with all the necessary information to achieve a comprehensive learning in Viticulture.
