This report gives an overview on the scope of genetic modification research and the development status of transgenic varieties in India. It also assesses India’s experience with Bt cotton. […] Preliminary results from research in India demonstrate that biodiversity levels are higher in an organic farm compared to conventional, as exemplified by insect biodiversity. The rich biodiversity of the organic farm also provides pest population control. […] Industrial agriculture contributes significantly to global warming, representing a large majority of total agriculture-related GHG emissions. Alternatively, agroecology is far less energy-consumptive and releases fewer GHGs. […] This report presents peer-reviewed scientific and other authoritative evidence of the hazards to health and the environment posed by GMOs. […] This report presents peer-reviewed scientific and other authoritative evidence of the hazards to health and the environment posed by GMOs. […] Pests are adapting to GM crops in unexpected ways, researchers have discovered. […] This paper shows that agroecology has proven capable of sustainably increasing productivity and has far greater potential for fighting hunger, particularly during economic and climatically uncertain times.
