Description Accepted date: 18 July 2019
India does not have a clear stand on the release and consumption of genetically modified crops
(food). The only approved crop is Bt-cotton, which has put India on the global map as a cotton
exporting country. Even so, Bt-brinjal is under moratorium and GM mustard is prevented from
undergoing commercial trial. All these decisions are not based on sound scientific principles. Activism against has successfully prevented exploitation of a powerful technology that can contribute to
India’s food and nutrition security. This article attempts to give a balanced perspective of genetic
modification technology as one of the serious options to be considered on case to case basis. Ambivalence will seriously affect India’s food security in the future.
