Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to healthy people and communities. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release.
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. 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. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
"Agriculture and seeds" provide the basis upon which our lives depend.
