The ideal of SEED SOVEREIGNTY firmly plants seed

saving and seed stewardship in the realm of

fundamental human rights. It is the freedom to save

seed and determine the foundation on which our food

system rests. With the current attacks of industry

hitting at the heart of food sovereignty, the simple act

of seed saving becomes a major act of resistance and

social empowerment.

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."
urbantomato has signed on to, and wholeheartedly supports the Council of Responsible Genetics Safe Seed Pledge
