Principle 2: Sustainable use of biodiversity

Criteria Guidance Evidence & Scoring Importance & Applicability
Criteria 2.1: Criteria 2.1: Practices are adopted to ensure sustainable use of the species cultivated or wild collected, and to prevent or mitigate negative impact on other species


2.1.7

Cultivation and wild collection activities do not introduce genetically modified organisms into cultivation and wild collection sites.



 No GMO seeds/seedlings are used for, as examples:
  • crops that are rotated with the certified/verified crop in the same site
  • plants that are grown in the same site as the certified/verified crop to improve soil conditions, biological pest management and similar functions
  • other practices that are instrumental for the cultivation/wild collection of the certified crop Field operators are responsible for implementing the practices required for compliance with this indicator.

    • DOCUMENTATION

    Seeds/seedling bags/containers indicating seeds are or are not GMOs can be used as evidence for non-compliance/compliance.


    INTERVIEWS/OBSERVATION

    Conversations with relevant informants and observation in the field show seeds/seedlings used are or are not GMOs can be used as evidence for non-compliance/compliance.

    Scoring guidance

    0 - GMO seeds/seedlings are introduced in cultivation and collection sites for cultivation and wild collection related activities
    1 - Corrective actions to stop the introduction of GMOs are identified but not implemented
    2 - Most of the identified corrective actions to stop the introduction of GMOs are implemented, or the use of GMOs is significantly reduced and does not represent a systemic practice but it is not completely stopped
    3 - GMOs seeds/seedlings are not introduced in cultivation and collection sites for cultivation and wild collection related activities, or all identified corrective actions to stop the introduction of GMOs are implemented and the introduction of GMOs is stopped completely

    N/A – in the justification, please explain why
