India puts on hold first GM food crop : Just for Now

BBC reports : India has deferred the commercial cultivation of what would have been its first genetically modified (GM) vegetable crop due to safety concerns.

Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said more studies were needed to ensure genetically modified aubergines were safe for consumers and the environment.

The GM vegetable has undergone field trials since 2008 and received approval from government scientists in 2009.

My Take : Wait for the next food crisis.. GM Foods would be making a backdoor entry using Disaster Capitalist Strategy
