THE
PLEDGE:
“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 people and communities.”
The
safe seed pledge is sponsored and circulated by:
The
Council for Responsible Genetics
The
Council for Responsible Genetics was founded in 1983, and is comprised of
scientists, lawyers, public health advocates and citizens concerned about
the social, ethical and environmental impact of new genetic technologies.
