Loud no to Bt Brinjal in Orissa (India)
The Orissa government will not allow Bt Brinjal inside the state because it fears that the genetically modified crop may endanger the bio-safety of native farm products. ”We are not for any genetically modified (GM) crop, let alone Bt Brinjal. There is no credible scientific study to stand by the GM crops. Nor are there reports from any where in the country about farmers welcoming it,” agriculture minister Surendra Nath Nayak said. ”On the contrary, public protests against GM crops are galore,” he added.
