Mission Statement
The mission of the Napa Sustainable Winegrowing Group is to identify and promote winegrowing practices that are economically viable, socially responsible, and environmentally sound. Specifically, the Napa Sustainable Winegrowing Group promotes viticultural land stewardship through educational outreach to:
- optimize ecological stability and winegrape productivity and quality by understanding and emulating natural processes such as biodiversity, carbon and nutrient cycling, and plant-soil interactions.
- reduce pesticide inputs through cultural practices, biological control, and use of alternative materials.
- promote soil health through erosion control, reduced tillage, soil analysis, and the amendment of soils with cover crops and compost.
- enhance returns on investment by promoting the value-added nature of sustainable winegrapes along with terroir and increased vineyard longevity.
