BeeSAFE (Safe Agriculture & Food Economy) is a movement that works to improve health, the environment and local economies, by promoting access to local food that is safe for the bees, and for us. BeeSAFE was started by Huguette Allen, Carla Vierke and Jane Emlyn to protect their rural areas from the health risks and environmental degradation of chemically based agriculture.

Our ability to grow safe food is compromised by genetically modified (GMO) crops that cross-pollinate with traditional and organic crops (and even with wild plants of the same family) and by the dangerous pesticides used to grow these crops. By growing more safe food locally, and spending our food dollars locally, we can build a creative rural economy that protects water and farmland while creating local jobs in a variety of sectors.
