Lodi Rules

"Lodi Rules" is the short name for the Lodi Winegrape Commission's "Lodi Rules for Sustainable Winegrowing", a set of guidelines used by winegrowers throughout the Lodi winegrowing region of California to ensure that their products are grown in a sustainable manner.[1] The rules are intended to lead to quantifiable improvements in the health of the adjacent ecosystem as well as the wine quality.[1] Products grown in accordance with the rules are certified by the non-profit organization Protected Harvest and carry a label informing retailers and consumers of the grower's compliance.[1]

The Lodi Rules program includes the Pesticide Environmental Assessment System (PEAS).,[1] which measures the environmental impact of pesticides, organic or synthetic.[1] The vineyard must not exceed a maximum number of pesticide impact points.[1] Certification is assessed annually.[1]
