Strongly agree

Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds

The SSP's anti-corporate stance and advocacy for public ownership and control over essential resources, including food production, suggest strong support for the idea that producers should not be able to patent seeds. This position is consistent with the party's broader critique of privatization and intellectual property laws that favor corporations over public interest and biodiversity.

Agree

No

Given the SSP's emphasis on environmental sustainability and social justice, they are likely to support precautionary approaches to GMOs. Their likely opposition to corporate dominance in agriculture, which is often associated with genetically engineered crops, suggests a preference for non-GMO agriculture that aligns with ecological and public health priorities.

Agree

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

The SSP's commitment to transparency and consumer rights would support the labeling of genetically modified foods, allowing consumers to make informed choices. This stance aligns with broader left-wing and environmentalist positions that advocate for clear labeling as part of food sovereignty and safety measures.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) generally promotes environmental sustainability and may have concerns about the ecological impacts and corporate control associated with genetically engineered crops. While specific statements on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) from the SSP are not widely documented, their alignment with eco-socialist principles suggests a cautious or negative stance towards the unregulated use of GMOs.
