California Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices-Innovation for Air and Water Quality

As California’s population increases and urban areas encroach on traditionally rural farmland, the State’s winegrowing community is taking a proactive, precautionary approach to address concerns resulting from public and legislative perceptions, regulatory pressures, and other growth-related issues. The purpose of this project is to advance sustainable farming practices in the State’s winegrowing community. The activities carried out under this grant will, among other things, help establish voluntary high standards of sustainable practices to be followed and maintained by the entire winegrowing community.
