The Impact of Climate Change on the Quality of Wine Production – Development of a System Dynamics Model

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore the key factors and interrelationships within a system that examines the impact on how climate change affects wine quality and working practices in vineyards and how winegrowers can adapt to these changes while maintaining their unique wine characteristics. We utilize systems thinking and the system dynamics model to facilitate our investigation. The theoretical section introduces the concepts of systems thinking and system dynamics. The subsequent section outlines the system's structure, including a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) highlighting significant feedback loops and their dynamic behaviours.
