Study after study has shown the pitfalls of Bt cotton. Every second cotton farmer who committed suicide in Vidarbha was a Bt farmer. But biotech industry lobbyists, who take a stock market view of agriculture, wouldn’t know this since these figures are not reflected in the Sensex, says PV Satheesh. [...] It is probably not coincidental that the ISAAA, the biotech industry’s lobby organisation, which relentlessly and aggressively promotes genetically engineered crops all over the world, held its board meeting in Delhi last month and decided to take some selected Indian farmers to Europe to propagate Bt cotton to European farmers.
