The Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, a nonprofit that includes both farmer and consumer members, therefore resolves that:

1. Further government approvals of any genetically engineered seeds and agriculture products should be halted until an independent and comprehensive assessment of the environmental, health, social, and economic impacts of those products is concluded.

2. Private ownership of life forms should not be permitted, and the patenting of seeds, plants, animals, genes and cell lines should be banned.

3. Agrarian people who have cultivated and nurtured crops for thousands of years should retain control of natural resources and maintain the right to use or reuse any genetic resource.

4. Corporations that develop or market genetically engineered seeds, livestock, or other products should be held liable for any and all damages that result from their use, including the contamination of non-GE crops through cross-pollination. The entities should be subject to normal trespass and nuisance laws to prevent them from entering farmers’ private property

without permission.

5. Corporations that create genetically engineered organisms should bear the burden of proof that their actions will not harm human health, animal health, or the environment. Because GMOs could not occur in nature, there should be no assumption that they are “substantially equivalent” to non-GMOs.

6. Consumers in the U.S. and around the globe have the right to know whether their food is genetically engineered and have a right to access naturally produced food.
