Strongly agree

Yes, but require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified

The NDP has historically supported the labelling of genetically modified foods. In 2011, the party introduced a private member's bill, Bill C-257, which called for mandatory labelling of genetically modified foods. While the bill did not pass, it demonstrates the party's commitment to transparency and consumer choice when it comes to genetically modified foods.

Agree

Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds

The NDP has expressed concerns about the corporate control of the food system, particularly when it comes to genetically engineered crops and seeds. While they have not explicitly called for a ban on patenting seeds, their focus on protecting farmers' rights and promoting food sovereignty suggests that they would likely support measures to limit the power of large corporations in the agricultural sector, including restrictions on seed patents.
