Farmers seek biotech solutions to crop woes
Farmers from across the country protested against recommendations of the Technical Expert Committee (TEC) at Jantar Mantar on Thursday. They demanded latest technologies in agriculture. The rally was led by the Consortium of Indian Farmers Association (CIFA) with participation from other farmers' groups.
CIFA secretary general Chengal Reddy said, "Farmers confront several farm productivity challenges... Biotechnology or genetically modified crop can offer us solutions."
Reddy said farmers need biotechnology and the right to choose and freedom to farm. "We have full faith that the Supreme Court will do what is right for farmers in need of technology to increase productivity and prosperity," he said. IE
