Strongly agree

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

The Liberal Democrats have historically supported the labelling of genetically modified foods. In 2013, the party's then-leader, Nick Clegg, called for clearer labelling of GM foods in the European Union. This stance aligns with their focus on transparency and consumer choice.

Agree

Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds

While the Liberal Democrats have not explicitly addressed the issue of patenting seeds, their general support for innovation and competition suggests that they might be in favor of limiting the ability of producers to patent seeds. This would promote competition and prevent monopolies in the agricultural sector, which aligns with their broader policy goals.
