0 - GMOs are used as seeds/seedlings for the certified/verified crop
1 - Possible corrective actions to stop the use of GMOs as seeds/seedlings for the certified/verified crops are identified but not implemented
2 - Most of the corrective actions identified are implemented however there is still room for improvement; the use of GMOs is significantly reduced and does not represent a systemic practice but it is not completely stopped
3 - GMOs are not used as seeds/seedlings for the certified/verified crop and/or all corrective actions to stop the use of GMOs are implemented resulting in a complete stop in the use of GMO seed/seedlings for certified/verified crops
