GM banana poses a new threat to crop diversity - The New Indian Express

GM banana poses a new threat to crop diversity - The New Indian Express: "“GM bananas are, a waste of time and money, an unnecessary risk and a strategy to take control of the banana in its centre of diversity and the region with highest production and consumption,” says Vandana Shiva, noted Green activist.
The banana diversity of the state, probably the richest in the country, stands threatened with a possible entry of genetically modified banana from Australia through a research collaboration. In view of the threat that can affect the whole country, several Green organisations have called for a ‘No genetically modified Banana’ campaign from May 1."
