The Grape CoP is comprised of a nationwide group of professionals with expertise in grape production. All of the states involved have a grape industry, from very large (California) to very small (South Dakota), and all have an increasing interest in grape production. Expertise within the GCoP includes integrated pest management, plant pathology, food science, distance education, variety selection, canopy management, and rootstocks, just to name a few. Often individuals possess more than one expertise area, and expertise areas may overlap, allowing for overall strength in numerous knowledge areas. In fact, many members of the GCoP have collaborated in the past on research and extension efforts. The GCoP intends to be inclusive rather than exclusive with other disciplines. Several stakeholders indicated their desire to see the formation of a GCoP, including the National Grape and Wine Initiative. All content is collaboratively authored and reviewed by our community of professionals with expertise in viticulture and related disciplines. Our Mission The Grape Community of Practice (GCoP) strives to meet the educational needs of the grape industry as a whole; including industry partners, extension employees, and consumers by providing science-based information and learning opportunities through eXtension. Our Vision Any professional in the field of viticulture, hobbyist, or consumer will be able to access information about any aspect of growing and producing grapes at any time by any Internet-ready method and, by doing so, will increase their knowledge and use the information as a way to improve their skills, life, and/or business. Our Values The GCoP believes in: The land-grant philosophy of helping people put knowledge to work to better their lives Using all appropriate means to increase access of the grape community of interest (GCoI) to objective, research-based information and learning opportunities Creativity in the adoption of new technology to further the mission of the GCoP Collaboration in material development, joint ownership, and peer-review Recognition of contributions to achieving the mission of the GCoP eViticulture Tools Feature Articles: Our feature articles cover everything from basic concepts of viticulture to the latest, ground-breaking research written in an easy to understand context.
