Progress in biotechnology has brought in genetically modified (GM) crops that are expected to change the agricultural contours. However, unlike the developed world, there are latent as well as vocal apprehensions in the developing world regarding the use of GM seeds. Further, legal issues of patenting in different countries are also a serious concern.
In India, the efficacy of biotechnology and genetic modification appears to have taken a hit with the latest trend anticipating a decline in the yields of Bt cotton and a hostile climate pervading for all genetically modified crops. Continued research, however, is non-negotiable if science based advancements are to take root.
