The Indian Council of Agricultural Research's (ICAR) Deputy Director General (Crop Science) Swapan Datta said here today that anti-GM protestors do not seem to understand science and that genetically-modified crops are an extension of modern science. [...] He said that farmers will not produce crops if they do not get a good price. ”We cannot produce something that farmers don't get a good price. It has to be profit-oriented and at a reduced cost,” he said.
