GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, are not allowed in certified organic production and High Mowing has never sold GM seeds. As new GM crops are released to the general public, however, there is an increased risk of GM crops cross-pollinating organic crops. High Mowing is committed to Non-GMO Project Verification to help reduce these risks. It has been their goal to provide seeds that are safe and healthy for people and the planet. That means helping to protect the many traits that have been isolated through selective breeding so that they can be utilized by future generations.
The Non-GMO Project
The Non-GMO Project helps companies develop procedures to avoid GMOs in their products and facilitates testing for the presence of genetically modified DNA. Non-GMO Project standards are aligned with those adopted by the European Union. High Mowing has been providing support and advice to the Non-GMO Project since 2008, helping to expand their understanding of the seed industry and the need for rigorous testing standards.Click here to read the complete article at highmowingseeds.com
