What is genetic engineering of crops? What are its implications on farmers, consumers and the environment? A quick look reveals that in the history of genetically engineering crops, it has been a well established fact that genetically engineered crops do not increase the yield as it has been projected by the multinational companies manufacturing these seed types. It's a matter of grave concern that despite the fact that there is no evidence whatsoever anywhere in the world to suggest that GM crops are safe for consumption in the long run, some governments with a myopic approach to development, like in India, are planning to allow GM crops.
I'm not against GM crops, just I feel that further more research needs to be done before we ask our farmers to cultivate them.
