"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 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 healthy people and communities."
