5 Classical Breeding compared to Genetic Engineering Uses plant machinery in plant Uses plant machinery in laboratory Gene exchange is random involving entire genome Gene exchange is specific, single or a few genes When/where genes expressed not controlled by breeder When/where gene expressed can be controlled precisely Only between closely related or within species Source of gene from any organism

35 What are some environmental issues? Gene flow via pollen flow to generate superweeds (herbicide tolerance to wild/weedy species) Transfer of transgenes to non-gmo / organic crops? Loss of genetic diversity? Property rights (gene patents)? Spread of pharmaceutical genes into commercial crops?
36 Are there tolerances for GE in organic products? From NOP preamble Organic Production is a PROCESS certification NOT a PRODUCT certification it allows for Adventitious Presence (AP) of certain excluded methods. As long as an organic operation has not used excluded methods and takes reasonable steps to avoid contact with the products of excluded methods unintentional presence of products of excluded methods should not affect status of an organic product or operation. F.J. Chip Sundstrom CCIA
37 Pesticides: When residue testing detects prohibited substances at levels that are greater than 5% of the EPA s s tolerance for the specific pesticide residue detected the the agricultural product must not be sold or labeled, or represented as organically produced. GMOs: : At the present time there are no specified tolerances for GMOs in organic products. Organic products are not guaranteed GMO-free, although some organic farmers sign contracts guaranteeing GMO-free
38 Will an organic farmer automatically lose accreditation if his/her crop is found contaminated with a GE crop? No. As long as an organic operation has not used excluded methods and takes reasonable steps to avoid contact with the products of excluded methods, as detailed in their approved organic system plan, the unintentional presence of the products of excluded methods should not affect the status of an organic product or operation. SOURCE: AMS National Organic Program Q&A
39 One of most divisive issues regarding genetic engineering is idea that the choice is EITHER organic agriculture OR GMOs. If issues are polarized into all is permitted or nothing is permitted, rational social discussion is impossible. Dualism (right versus wrong) makes compromise difficult. Co-existence development of best management practices to minimize unintended presence of unwanted material, enabling different production systems to co-exist to ensure sustainability and viability of all production systems.
