THE SAFE SEED SOURCEBOOK
Your Resource for GE-Free Seeds
The Safe Seed 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 healthy people and communities."
The companies listed below (alphabetical, by State, with Canada and Costa Rica
included at the end) have signed the Safe Seed Pledge for 2002. We encourage
you to support them in their efforts to preseve the integrity of our seed supply.
