abstract
The issue relating to GM crop have generated intense public debate not only in India but many other parts of the world, including developed countries where production and consumption of Genetically Modified Foods are high. Despite the fact that the issues under banter incorporate the expense and advantages of the GM varieties and the potential safety concerns, the result of the discussion varies from one country to another. Though, it’s widely claimed that GM crop offers promise for meeting most of our food requirements, like all new innovations, it also poses certain apprehensions and risks. Moreover, any solutions designed to leverage new technologies for better food grain production will have to work in the context of rising Indian population, growing incomes that lead to changing diets, and climate change that will likely to put pressure on already scarce resources.
