Prof C Kameswara Rao, Executive Secretary, the Foundation for Biotechnology Awareness and Education (FBAE), Bangalore, said, ”The Indian farmers have to produce enough to meet the needs of growing population, without enlarging arable land or irrigation facilities in a fast changing climate. Such interventions as GM technology will play a crucial role in providing the necessary means to enable farmers to produce more using fewer resources.” [...] Eminent biotechnologists, agricultural scientists and heads of agribiotechindustry came together against the recommendations of the Technical Expert Committee appointed by the Supreme Court of India, to address certain issues related to agricultural biotechnology.
