"**Lodi Rules**" is the short name for the Lodi Winegrape Commission's "**Lodi Rules for Sustainable Winegrowing**", a set of guidelines used by [winegrowers](/source/Viticulture) throughout the [Lodi](/source/Lodi_AVA) winegrowing region of California to ensure that their products are grown in a [sustainable](/source/Sustainable_agriculture) 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](/source/Nonprofit_organization) [Protected Harvest](/source/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](/source/Pesticide), organic or synthetic, foreign or domestic.[1] The vineyard must not exceed a maximum number of pesticide impact points.[1] Certification is assessed annually.[1]
