The GMO Question
"'If you took away all the GMO seeds right now in the world, we would all starve to death because there is no functioning seed bank of non-GMO seeds.'" - Suzanne Ashworth, Certified Organic Farmer, West Sacramento CA, Author, “Seed to Seed”

This statement by Suzanne Ashworth, one of the world’s leading experts on seed production, serves as a wake-up call to all people who care about health and nutrition. It is an excerpt from a soon-to-be-released exclusive interview Ashworth gave to the Genesa Living Foundation. The wide-ranging interview, conducted by Genesa President Dr. Daniel S. Smith, focuses on the largely unknown, long-range effects of genetically modified organisms (GMO) on the world’s food supply. Approximately 85 percent of the seeds on earth contain GMO. And no independent, far-reaching study has ever been undertaken to investigate their impact. Genesa Living Foundation is spearheading such an effort. Beginning in the summer of 2013, Genesa is partnering with California State University, Stanislaus to conduct a 20-year research project – consisting of both short-term and long-term studies that will examine and analyze the effects of genetically modified food on young children as they grow into adulthood. In addition, Genesa is exploring the establishment of a large-scale, functioning, non-GMO seed bank. According to Dr. Smith, “The Sacramento area is the perfect place for this type of seed bank. It is the capital of California and it is located in the heart of the richest agricultural valley in the United States.” These efforts are all essential components of Genesa Living Foundation’s new comprehensive Gold Standard Research, Development and Labeling facility in Sacramento, which is designed to promote a safe, ample, healthy food supply around the world. In addition, Genesa has created a website dedicated to the GMO debate. It explores all aspects of genetically modified organisms and spotlights many different points of view.
