The Bt cotton flop show
Experiment at farmers' cost

Nexus between official agencies and Bt industry came to the fore when
India's experiment with a GM crop eventually failed


let us see what is sown next year. That will answer all the questions. No
one in their right mind takes to much notice of government agencies.
If the amount of GM cotton in India sown by the ordinary peasants falls next
year, then it shows that it isn't everything it is cracked up to be. If the
amount increases then it shows that the people on the ground who know what
is going on have taken the decision that it works
