Pinky: So what are we going to do now Brain??

Brain: The same thing we always try to do Pinky. Try to take over the world.

powerful GM lobbyists and prominent politicians

claim that genetically modified crops have transformed Indian agriculture, providing greater yields than ever before

But

Village after village, families told how they had fallen into debt after being persuaded to buy GM seeds instead of traditional cotton seeds.

The price difference is staggering: £10 for 100 grams of GM seed, compared with less than £10 for 1,000 times more traditional seeds.

traditional varieties were banned from many government seed banks.

When crops failed in the past, farmers could still save seeds and replant them the following year.

But with GM seeds they cannot do this. That's because GM seeds contain so- called 'terminator technology', meaning that they have been genetically modified so that the resulting crops do not produce viable seeds of their own.
