Thank you to our supporters
Genetically modified (GM) seeds are being marketed to home gardeners in Canada.
Varieties of concern:
Tomatoes: โAltheaโ, โDark Hollowโ, โThe Elevenโ
Squash/Zuccini: "Independence", "Liberator", "Prelude"
We ask you NOT to bring these seeds to any regional Seedy events this year.
The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) advises that GM tomatoes produce viable seeds that gardeners can save and disperse. Over time, GM seeds are re-saved, re-shared, and spread, and there would be no way to know whether GM seeds are present in our community seed exchanges. Heritage seed collections could become contaminated with GM seeds, fracturing trust in these important seed events that are so important to maintaining seed diversity. Additionally, GM seeds are patented so there is the risk that industry may claim to own those tomatoes and demand a fee for every tomato seed, plant, and fruit sold. That sounds crazy, but it is already happening around the globe. Find more information at these links:
