Farmers demand ban on GM crops

Hundreds of farmers under the banner of "Coalition for a GM-Free India' gathered here on Tuesday to demand a total ban on genetically modified (GM) crops and food saying it would affect not only humans but livestock, soil and environment. They urged the political parties to take a categorical stand on GM technology in the run-up to the coming general elections. "It is an unwanted, irretrievable, undesirable technology,' they asserted.
