Does a fruit or Veggie from a GMO seed but grown in accordance to Organic farming count as organic produce?
Posted on 2008 under growing organic | 4 Comments25 Oct
If a farmer had a chance to grow "organic" but was able to able to grow from a seed that was insect repellant he might be ensuring his success as a grower. However, does the concept of "organic" mean not altered in any way, or does it just mean grown w/out pesticides?
No, must be NATURAL all the way, baby.

While farmers who grow without pesticides should be heralded for their efforts, we can’t allow green wash to occur. Organic is a certification and it has to be strict, otherwise we won’t be able to trust it anymore.

GMO … at any stage of the lifecycle (including ancestors) totally disqualifies a plant from being organic.
Not that Monsanto gives a fabulous flying furry fig.
