HOST: Jihany Brecci (Stella Pietro, Brazil)GUESTS: Mimi Casteel (Hope Well, USA)Alpha Lo (Climate Water Project, USA)Introduction / DescriptionIn this Climate Talk, organized in partnership with the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation, on the theme of “Regenerative Hydrology.”This talk goes beyond viticulture as we zoom out to explore the broader disruptions in global water cycles.We’ll dive into the principles of regenerative hydrology—maximizing water infiltration, building healthy soils, and restoring natural water flows. Then we’ll examine how common vineyard practices, such as irrigation, can disrupt these cycles—and how regenerative approaches can begin to repair them.Real-world examples will be shared to show how vineyards can become more resilient to drought and erosion.The talk will be hosted by Jihany Brecci (Stella Pietro, Brazil), and will feature Mimi Casteel (Hope Well, USA) reimagining viticulture, and Alpha Lo (Climate Water Project, USA) rethinking our relationship with water.
