Seed Keepers

[Anders Skarlind <Anders.Skalman@telia.com>]

Morgan, the obvious answer is to keep good isolation distances. The 
same principles should apply as for ordinary unwanted 
crosspollination. These distances are typically one or a few miles. 
In parts of the world where gmos are widespread this can be difficult 
to achieve. Most difficult are the crops where seed is the actual crop.

I think we will see developmental work in this field.
