This book discusses the conflicting discourse around GM crops in
India. It brings together concerns related to food production,
farming, environment, health, ownership and policymaking on the use
of genetically modified crops in India. The volume analyses
apprehensions around GM technology from the perspective of the
various stakeholders involved in the debate. Through field surveys
and interviews with scientists, economists, environmentalists,
civil society activists as well as cotton growing farmers from the
states of Telangana and Maharashtra, it highlights the
vulnerabilities and questions related to the short-term and long
term impacts of using GM technology on farmers, food production,
health, the agricultural economy and the environment. The book
proposes ways for the use of GM technology which takes stock of
economic and farming limitations and accordingly brings in reforms
and policies to reconcile the conflicting arguments of
stakeholders. This volume will be of great interest to researchers
and students of development studies, political science, sociology,
agricultural studies and sciences and biotechnology. It will also
be useful for policymakers, think tanks and NGOs working with
farmers or agriculture collectives on policy issues.
