Good to know that people want to discard them,but feeding a big country is a monumental job and we need to increase the produce, but some other way.
@Renu
thanks.
The long term implications of GM crops have generally been bad. The purchasing country is dependent on the selling country for a whole ecosystem of products. So even though there maybe increased produce, it generally comes at a huge cost, and health ailments. I think India should also not allow GM crops.

I hope all harmful GM crops get banned...Now we are seeing here more and more products with NON-GMO labels.
Corn is one of the worst one with lot of side effects...my friends sons nose starts bleeding as soon as he eats popcorn...also it hurts stomach.
