For food security, GM crops not the only route says Indian Environment Minister
For the first time since suspending Bt brinjal, a decision that pitted him against the biotech industry, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh shared a platform with the industry’s leaders who are seeking to reconnect with him. Ramesh, however, set the record straight: “For food security, genetically modified crops are not the only route but they are an important component. The Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India Bill is a huge step forward for the integrity of environmental assessment process, safety, efficacy and public interest.”
