Absolutely a valid consideration, isn't it.Yes #1
I'd venture that pollen drift would be less likely in separatedYes #3
individual or community gardens than large commercial field operations near
other growers or growing other varieties that might be GMO contaminated.
Which would argue further for grow your own.Emphatically Yes#4
There's probably some chanceYes #5
of drift contamination in seed being sold now, but if it's going to get
more widespread I'd get into serious seed saving with heirloom varieties
from small isolated growers.
Heirlooms aren't newly bred varieties, and ifI would not think so but periodic spot checking for gmo dna might be a good
they appear to breed true from seed then my guess is they wouldn't be
comtaminated, would they?
I wonder if a new market will develop forI would certainlyhope so and would think that would be inevitable. Operations
organic seed produced on geographically isolated farms with no chance of
GMO contamination.
As for the dominance of agribusiness and fiat money investment capitalism
that props it up, I don't see what we can do without a complete collapse of
the industrial agriculture system. Which may be coming. What's your take on
this?
