The phrases climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon sequestration are common place in wine production. But what can you do make a science-based, and achievable impact? Brianna Beighle, Assistant Winemaker at Patz & Hall Wine Company explains scope one, two, and three emissions as they apply to the wine industry. Viticulturalists and winemakers can look at easy to measure practices like diesel fuel use, Nitrogen application timing, and light weight glass bottles to reduce their footprint. She explains that even small shifts in management can have a big impact.  Resources: 67: Impacts of Climate Change on Wine Production 91: Carbon Sequestration 122: Preserving Agriculture Land to Combat Climate Change 125: Using Grape Grower Demographics to Influence Climate Change Adaptation 167: Use Biochar to Combat Climate Change 171: How to Farm Wine Grapes for Climate Change 2020 HiRes Vineyard Nutrition Research Update Bottled Up: Unpacking the Facts about Wine Bottles and Climate Change Brianna Beighle’s LinkedIn Christina Lazcano, University of California, Davis International Wineries for Climate Action (IWAC) Shaky Ground: A company called Indigo is paying farmers to trap carbon in their soils.

And she's an MBA student in the half school, the UC Berkeley, and she focuses on sustainability. And she's been working on some pretty interesting things around science based decision making and climate change. Welcome to the podcast, Brianna.   Brianna Beighle  0:18  Thank you. I'm so excited to be here in chat with you, Craig.   Craig Macmillan  0:20  I am too. You've been doing quite a bit of thinking. And also communicating on the role of what we would call science based decision making regarding companies or firms, sometimes I call them and things like climate change, climate change. In particular, this requires us to draw some boxes conceptually, maybe from even a systems thinking approach. If you if you subscribe to that kind of an idea where in order to get a handle on talking about something, we're probably need to kind of define it. And sometimes it's just a question of where do you draw the lines around? What in what? So in the realm of business and climate change industries and climate change? There are some boxes have already been defined, that have been found to be useful. But they also have some limitations? What would some of those be in your mind is a good starting points?   Brianna Beighle  1:05  Oh, goodness, I guess I'll just go first to where you're talking about some things that have already been established. And I'm just going to say, the first ones that everyone has out there is that the scope one, scope two and scope, three emissions. So those have been established to kind of bucket as you're saying where specific emissions come from. And scope one emissions for I'm sure most of you are familiar, are ones that are directly associated with company facilities, compa
