Napa Green's RISE Event Showcases Climate Smart Practices


It wasn't about organics per se, but Napa Green's sustainability conference was a gang buster...filled with so many incredible experts it makes my head spin.

I got to share lunch with Jay Famiglietti, one of the world experts on groundwater monitoring via satellite, which he pioneered in California. He's now a professor at Arizona State, where is the Director of Science for the Arizona Water Innovation Initiative...a much needed institute in a drought stricken state. 

Another day, I was lucky enough to snag a bit of time with Olga Barbosa, a global leader in biodiversity initiatives. 

And there were so many friends and acquaintances to run into.

I won't go into all the content the conference delivered–that would be several books–but will point you to the videos on Napa Green's website when they are uploaded. Which hopefully will be sometime soon. 

In the meantime, enjoy this article I wrote for WineBusiness.com that ran today. It's but a tiny smidgie of the conference, but it's a start.
