There are some major differences between conventional and sustainable no-till/direct-seed agricultural practices.
Much of conventional no-till/direct-seed agriculture in the U.S. relies on the use of "Roundup-ready" genetically modified plant varieties (GMOs). This has led some critics to denounce all direct-seeding as "chemical no-till," which is a hasty oversimplification.
Food Alliance Certified no-till farmers do not use round-up ready GMOs. Instead they rely on diversified crop rotation to help with weed control & soil/nutrient balance.
In situations where farmers make considered & carefully implemented use of herbicides for weed control, Food Alliance believes the larger ecological benefits of the no-till system — dramatic reductions in erosion, reducing fossil fuel use, & enhancing wildlife habitat - outweigh the occasional use of synthetic herbicides.
You are misinformed. Shepherd's Grain wheat is a Food Alliance Certified product and GMO wheat is not even on the market yet. Food Alliance certified producers meet these standards: -Safe and fair working conditions -Reduce pesticide use and toxicity -Conserve soil and water resources -Protect wildlife habitat -Healthy & humane care for livestock -No added hormones or non-therapeutic antibiotics -No genetically modified crops or livestock -Continuously improve practices Thanks.
