Seed Education and Seed Legislation

Seed Freedom LA is about SEED EDUCATION and SEED LEGISLATION.

Seed Legislation, in that we are organizing a campaign to get the City of Los Angeles declared a GMO-Free Zone with respect to seeds.  (Want to help?  Contact us)

Meanwhile, we plan to continue the public education about GMOs that began with Proposition 37, through blogging, social media, and producing informational handouts.


Seed Education, in that everything ultimately comes back to the seed.  As you begin to learn about GMOs you will inevitably learn more about seeds and how plants are bred:  what is natural plant breeding, versus what are coarse, unpredictable laboratory manipulations.


In our culture, most of us are no longer familiar with the seeds that produce our food.  Part of your learning journey will be to become re-acquainted.  Thus our education programs will be aimed at teaching everyone -- from gardeners to consumers -- what is right and what is scary with respect to food seeds and our food supply.
