Safe Seed
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation, as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy, or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods, between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks, as well as economic, political and cultural threats.
We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing are necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress, that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately, people and communities.
