Future
Various integrative technological approaches are gaining increasing attention for application in precision viticulture:
- Distributed Sensor Networks use strategic deployment of sensors throughout a vineyard to monitor key factors such as water stress and temperature.
- Vineyard Models simulate microclimate, vine growth, grape ripening, and economic return on investment to evaluate management options.
- Decision Support Systems (DSS) bring together vineyard environmental and economic databases, vineyard models, and GIS in an interactive software-based system to solve management problems and better make decisions.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“After the final no there comes a yes
And on that yes the future world depends.”
