Re:If we are to feed an ever-growing population and save India from starving, we must embrace GM crops
In October 2012, a Technical Expert Committee (TEC) appointed by the
Supreme Court (SC) of India recommended a 10-year ban on field trials of
genetically engineered (GM) food crops. Admirers of Indian
agriculture's colossal achievements were shocked and saddened by the
news.
The committee ignored copious data on the safety and
efficacy of GM crops in coming to this blinkered recommendation which is
not in the best interests of the people. It prevents the provision of a
safety net for the ever-increasing population. However, there is some
hope since, on November 9, the SC declined to accept the recommendations
of the TEC, pending receipt of a more comprehensive report.
The
ever growing population? Its due to modern civilization which is
grossly destroying itself because of its cumulative effects on Mother
Earth(Rape).
Time
for a normal civilization in tune with nature: Dismantle the
specialist’s hold over our lives like Genetic modification(GM) and adopt
conservation, just food distribution and local seeds.50% of food
worldwide is wasted. What kind of governance is this? Why should the
authorities ever consider tumor creating infertility causing GM? It is
food distribution that is not just, it is not food production that is to
be blamed. Why is food allowed to rot in India of all places, the home
of more than a billion of human beings only? Is this governance? It is
rigorous food grain storage in a healthy manner and a proper public
distribution system that the food minister should concentrate on. Should
not this GM and heavy pesticide use be on par with rape(of mother
earth)? Along with production & consumption , RETURN must be
practiced.
Why are cities possessing sewage rivers proliferating? Is this
governance? Why is area under agriculture being pruned? Why is area
under forests being pruned? Set the food net security and the climate
right first. It is the height of criminal traitor’s deeds to go ahead
with GM trials when other crops become corrupted with foreign material
in the process. Is this not undoing the very act of labelling GM
poisons, read corrupted foods? When I go to a foreign country replete
with GM crops, I get allergy on the skin and have to take drugs to
overcome nay mitigate the phenomenon. Why does it vanish when I land
back in India? Bt cotton may be causing my skin allergy when I wear
cotton clothes.When there are gross uncertainties regarding a technique,
good reasoning says that specialist science is only semi prudent, and
specialist,vested interest science kills as shown in in many a
precedent. Thus it is absolutely necessary that the
precautionary principle be followed and they stop making labrats of us and of one and only Mother Earth. One must learn from the fact that India has failed with Borlaugian methods of chemicalised agricultural monocultural monstrosity. Don’t you see the epidemic of cancers in the greenhorn revolving state of Punjab, where uranium magnification of gamma radiation via fertilizers has played havoc with
health which is made worse,tainted with radionuclide contaminated groundwaters? GMOs are the way forward for wiping out the flora, fauna and drinking waters of Bharat-Mata. Why? The specialists adopted a false fact that one gene is responsible for one protein(the central dogma of molecular biology),introduced the desired gene into another species which lacked the desired trait and permitted wholesale growing of such a plant new to nature by adopting the false principle of substantial equivalence of the GMO with its natural counterpart. Just the other year in 2009, this central dogma of molecular biology was overthrown by the finding that a variety of genes in the mother plant was responsible for a set of traits,among those genes were what the specialists had called junk! Thus the witch presides.Stop it now.
