On GM Seeds/ Food/ Crops

ON GM Seeds/ Food/ Crops

Need to be plain and outright straight forward now -

We must understand why China and Russia have stopped the GM food/ crop/ seeds. I'll provide my take here...

Read in Capt AV's blog about fungus implanted in our wheat crops. Across Punjab ( India and Pakistan ) as well.
That had basically wound its way from Africa.

My take-
GM crop can be used as a tool to bring nation states onto knees, at some point of time, going forward, if need be.
For African states this can be much earlier.

With a plethora of 1500+ patents. Very advanced R&D spanning 30-50 years. Where do we stand or measure up ?

Do we know how does a genetically modified seed/ crop behave/ interact with the soil, water & the environment ?
Can we say with enough clarity about the effects on the micro and nano- organisms that have their world of
interdependencies interwoven in their DNAs ? Is there a study on this spanning decades ? Are we capable of this ?
There are innumerable questions that needs to be asked and answered. Only an expert can get into it. But then -
the experts are bound to vary.

Also, the versions of imported manure and insecticides/ pesticides could keep on changing every few years.
Same for the seeds.

There is every possibility that as the GM crops spawn the globe - the underlying soils could undergo permanent changes.
Possibility that the native natural crop yield - is gradually pared down. The crop yield could come down drastically.

This is, but, a minor concern. MAJOR being that -

The import of the GM seeds, manure, insecticides/ pesticides will cost the exchequer a lot. And, is bound to grow by
leaps and bounds.
When a nation state is fully dependant on GM crop. The prices of the base inventories ( seeds, etc. ) can be ratcheted
up at will. Economies of nation states could be siphoned off enormous amount of wealth.

Say - what about USD 10-50-100-300-600-2000-9000 billion of imports some 5-10-15-20-25-30-35 years down the line ?

( Just to give a rough idea. )

The farmer suicides will sky rocket ten to twenty to forty fold.
Else the Govt. must subsidise ( basicallly - pay up for ) the GM inventory. There could be massive agrarian uprisings ?

We must need go green, natural and organic ASAP. In the sub-continent. We may have a huge export potential going
forward for our organic produce.

NOTE THIS. MARK THIS.

Also note...
It it possible that colder countries will reel mostly under the impact of the GM crop. We could have a huge export
potential down the line - for fresh, natural, green ORGANIC produce.
