Its sad that the west is trying to shun GMOs and you are writing a big article throwing mud on scientists who are saying otherwise.the incidence of autism, obesity,cancer in USA has multiplied but 100s of times.USA is currently in a health care crises.Its estimated that Medicare will be bankrupt in next 15-20 years.GMO labeling has been made mandatory in US,Europe in many states and countries.India is right behind America with regards to health problems.Get your facts straight and do some research on the latest on GMOs..Try for starters, the documentary GMOs revealed going on live now…..Don’t just post one sided PhD views from Mr.Mehta who is having a monocular vision which needs to span the health care issues drowning the western world !!!!
I think usage of GM seeds are the only way to go in India.I think in coming years farmers yield of their crops is going to come down due to climatic change and other factors.Unless the the ruling political parties see this truth and act quickly,they are going to see more and more farmers uprising of the scale seen recently capable of uprooting a regime.I agree that strict monitoring should be there about the usage of this technology but apart from that I see this resistance on the part of authorities nothing more than the initial resistance to any new form of technology like the proverbial fear of steam engine when it came first.There is no other way to feed more and more hungry mouths in this country multiplying beyond the capabilities of planet earth.
The shriller the shilling, the greater we must assume are the attempts to cover up the tragic effects of GM on ground.
And concealing the truth that GM crops have ensured the death of the farmer wherever holdings are small across India.
Swaminathan has at least redeemed himself by understanding what might when fir the farmer in his recent writings. How does this post doctoral fellow plan to, for being blind to the misery of Indian farmers?
