About Us

   P.I.N.A. is a grassroots organization comprised of diverse individuals from Napa County, including educators, healthcare professionals, environmentalists, and home gardeners. What we all share is the belief that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) pose a serious risk to our health and the health of future generations, and that they also threaten our environment, economy, and consumers' rights. We all eat food and are concerned that these irreversible changes to our food supply and environment are taking place without governmental oversight, without input from the general public, and without people's knowledge and consent. Sadly, the past decade has shown that GMOs only truly benefit the biotech corporations that field test and commercialize them at the expense of farmers, consumers, and the environment.

   Since studies show that the more people learn about GMOs, the less they trust them, our primary strategies, in addition to advocacy, are education and dialogue.
