The purpose of any regulation around Genetic Engineering and related modern biotechnology applications flows from the inherent risks and hazards associated with these technologies. India does not have a separate statute to govern the regulation of GMOs in our food and farming systems. This means that we have only executive orders/rules under the Environment Protection
At a press conference here on 9 February, India's environment minister, Jairam Ramesh, announced a "moratorium" on commercial release of what would have been India's first genetically modified food crop: varieties of eggplant, called brinjal in India, equipped with a protein from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that's toxic to insect pests.
Population growth, arable land and fresh water limits, and climate change have profound implications for the ability of agriculture to meet this century
To feed the several billion people living on this planet, the production of high-quality food must increase with reduced inputs, but this accomplishment will be particularly challenging in the face of global environmental change. Plant breeders need to focus on traits with the greatest potential to increase yield.
Continuing population and consumption growth will mean that the global demand for food will increase for at least another 40 years. Growing competition for land, water, and energy, in addition to the overexploitation of fisheries, will affect our ability to produce food, as will the urgent requirement to reduce the impact of the food system on the environment.
* Experts say Bt technology will eventually be introduced
