"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 and 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 is 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 healthy people and communities."
We do not recommnend GM (Genetically Engineered) food products. GM food changes the DNA of one spiece to bring some "advantages", e.g. sweeter corns, faster crops, pest resistences, etc. However until now we do not know how far and large the impact could be by transferring the gene from one to another.
All seeds you purchased at Yummeseeds are sourced from the organizations who also signed the Safe Seed Pledge. If you need more information about SAFE SEED PLEDGE, please visit the council of responsible genetics, the sponsor of the Safe Seed Initiative.
