//In the long run, GM food will become the norm.//

yeah unfortunately :-(

european countries lo... idhi oka pedha issue:

http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/news/Blogs/making waves/europe-takes-step-towards-ban-on-genetically-/blog/342 39/

âMultiple animal studies have shown that GM foods cause damage to various organ systems in the body.â

source: http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/whats-so-bad-about-genetical ly-modified-foods/

read the following:

http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_18160.cfm

Canada and the U.S. law provides for voluntary labeling of GM foods. Of course no processor or retailer is stupid enough to label a can of corn, or any other food, as genetically modified because few customers would buy it. It is legal in Canada to label a food "non-GM". But when some organic food processors tried to do that the supermarkets pulled their product from the shelves


manam us lo tine food lo more than 60% from GMO(genetically modified food) seeds. :-(

In the long run, GM food will become the norm. The correct response by Govts is to simplify the patenting laws and deregulate the industry so that more companies can do research without having to face the daunting costs, thus breaking the monopoly of Monsanto like cos.
http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-06-07/news /32101461_1_bt-cotton-average-cotton-major-cotton

European resistance has more to do with american cos dominance and general xenophobic nature than any supposed disadvantages of GM food.
The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.- Paul Valery

Mee ooru company ye gaa idhi?




yeah... unfortunately andi... :-(

hate them to the core...

monsanto bovine growth hormone controversy:

Seven years ago, Feb. 4, 1994, despite nationwide protests by consumer groups, Monsanto and the FDA forced onto the US market the world's first GE animal drug, recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH, sometimes known as rBST).

BGH is a powerful GE drug produced by Monsanto which, injected into dairy cows, forces them to produce 15%-25% more milk, in the process seriously damaging their health and reproductive capacity.

Govt did not wanted to introduce BT cotton seeds into the market




please read this brother.... govt. lobbying tho... ela chesaro... artificial scarcity create chesaru.....


Conquas:

Genetic Engineering Approval Committee approved three varieties developed by Maharashtra Hybrid Seed Company Limited (Mahyco) in collaboration with Monsanto.





Conquas:

Cotton farmers have little choice but to grow Bt varieties. As non-Bt seeds have been systematically made unavailable, 95% of the cotton being cultivated in India now comes from Bt seeds. Through licensing arrangements with seed companies across India's cotton belt, Mahyco has ensured that seed dealers sell only Bt cotton seeds.

As Far as i Remember, Govt did not wanted to introduce BT cotton seeds into the market but They had extreme pressure from farmer to release them. Govt was concerned about it and they wanted to do further testing. But looks like govt had to accept it :-(

stupid indian govt. policy makers.....learn from Europe ra idiots..... Monsanto entha pay chesthundhi ra meeku....

genetically modified cotton seeds directly indirectly ee ila problems create chesthunnayyi ante... animals chanipothunnayyi ante... migatha manam tine food related seeds inka entha problem create chesthayyo.... genetically modified seeds enduka ra manaki...



In 2002, Bt Cotton became India's first genetically modified crop when the country's /b{Genetic Engineering Approval Committee approved three varieties developed by Maharashtra Hybrid Seed Company Limited (Mahyco) in collaboration with Monsanto.}

Monsanto and Mahyco (of which Monsanto owns a 26% stake) made tremendous profits while hiking up the price of cotton seeds to over 500 times what farmers used to pay, from Rs. 7/kg to Rs. 3600/kg ($0.14/kg to $74/kg). Nearly half of this came from royalty payments. The companies were collecting around 10 billion rupees (over $200 million) per year in royalty payments from Indian farmers before the government of Andhra Pradesh, a state in southeast India, sued Monsanto, leading to a cap on the price of cotton seeds.

Andhra Pradesh saw problems beyond seed prices. /b{Farmers who had commonly grazed their animals on cotton fields after harvest reported losing 25% of the sheep that grazed on leftover Bt cotton plants. In 2006, shepherds in the village of Ippagudem lost 651 of their 2,601 sheep; in the village of Valeru, they lost 549 of 2,168.[1] The corporations and authorities denied any connection to the animal deaths. }

/b{Since the introduction of Bt cotton, tens of thousands of farmers have committed suicide-17,368 in 2009 alone.[2]} A disproportionate number of those farmers were cultivators of Bt cotton who had incurred enormous debt linked to high costs of seeds, as well as the fertilizers and pesticides promoted by Monsanto and Mahyco as a necessity in order to grow the new cotton varieties. Vastly increased costs of production, high interest rates for credit, and low cotton prices have created unprecedented levels of debt for Indian cotton farmers.

/b{Cotton farmers have little choice but to grow Bt varieties. As non-Bt seeds have been systematically made unavailable, 95% of the cotton being cultivated in India now comes from Bt seeds. Through licensing arrangements with seed companies across India's cotton belt, Mahyco has ensured that seed dealers sell only Bt cotton seeds.}
