GM cotton

A study to focus on the costs and consequences of using genetically modified (GM) cotton has rightly focussed on two essential macro-level components: Environmental viability, and public health and safety. One area that the study could focus on is whether producing GM cotton is sustainable for the poor Indian farmer, and what the pros and cons of long-term use of the GM cotton could be.
