The safety of our organic seed is at
risk and we need YOUR help. We deserve the right to eat, grow and buy safe
seeds, but our government is planning on mandatory chemical treatment of many
organic varieties of imported seeds. Incredibly, 98% of Australia’s vegetable
seed is from overseas and the variety of vegetable seed cultivars we have
access to now, is at risk of significantly reducing.
First
it was organic rockmelon seeds and now Brassica seeds are at risk. Soon, other
plant families are to follow.
Please read and sign this petition.
Every voice makes a difference. If you're not already, please start saving your
seeds. Thanks for your help. Let's
get the word out. We only have until 19 April.
