what is the future of food industry ?? Genetically-modified seeds in India.
All over the world, people thought avoiding Junk foods, having a proper diet will keep us away from hospitals, but it's an optical illusion. We are all planting Farmers for using pesticides, insecticides, etc for cultivation. But we all not aware of what seeds the farmers are sowing.?? who are all the manufacturers and distributors of the seeds? The idea of marketing starts from here "seeds".China and India are the largest producers of Agriculture products and the biggest marketing hub in the world. As per 2018, agriculture employed more than 50℅ of the Indian workforce and contributed 17–18% to the country's GDP.After five years genetically modified seeds going to replace all the natural seeds.
These steps are initiated by our government
Business Line reports that the investment company is allegedly putting pressure on the Modi's government to ensure that the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee fast tracks the clearance of Genetically modified seeds, so the seeds could be legally harvested and sold in the country. We need to look at Genetically modified crops objectively because plenty of evidence indicates it poses risks or is not beneficial and those non-GM alternatives are a better option.
what are GM crops, Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are used to plant for agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. More than 10% of the world’s croplands are planted with GM crops. Organizations such as Greenpeace argue that GM crops don’t yield better results, but push the farmers into debt.
According to a recent report in The Hindu Business Line, India’s intelligence agencies are investigating the role of a global investment company and international seed companies in supporting farmer's organization in the distribution of illegally procured genetically modified (GM) herbicide-tolerant (HT) cotton seeds. The planting of such seeds is an offense under the Environment Protection Act and Seeds Act. In May 2019, SS broke the law and freely distributed these seeds. In early January 2020, it broke the law again by distributing second-generation seeds.
Those behind the distribution and planting of illegal seeds talk about helping the farmer. But the real agenda is to open-up India to GM and get farmers hooked on a corporate money-spinning GM seed-chemical treadmill.GM is not about ‘helping farmers’ or ‘feeding the masses’ (myths that have been deconstructed time and again). It is about hard-nosed interests endeavoring to displace existing systems of production and capturing and exploiting markets by any means possible – not least fakery and deception. It clearly reveals the GM crops utterly efface the millions of jobs in the Natural seed-based industry and ultimately many farmers will be forced into a censorious situation of losing their job.
