GMO stands for genetically modified organisms (with a negative connotation) or genetically modified organisms (neutral term). Genetic modification involves manually by humans and focused changing the genes of an organism and is part of genetic engineering.
All by Aardam traded plants in our current range have been developed using traditional cultivating methods, without using genetic modification techniques that lead to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as defined in Directive 2001/18 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European communities, regarding to the deliberate release of GMOs into the environment.
A large part of the plant is grown under cultivated conditions we traded and harvested, sometimes in semi natural areas. These are a combination of wooded areas which are managed on a long term nature friendly way. Another part is in the laboratory and tissue culture (is cut at micro scale) plus.
