&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sarson Satyagraha has claimed that India is nearly self-sufficient in mustard oil production&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A group of farmers and scientists on Friday announced its intention to step up resistance against what they view as the Centre&amp;rsquo;s moves towards the release of genetically modified mustard for commercial cultivation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We will activate all possible democratic and non-violent avenues available to us and ensure that GM mustard planting does not end up being an irreversible, unaccountable misadventure,&amp;rdquo; the group, which calls itself Sarson Satyagraha, said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Genetic Engineering and Appraisal Committee, a regulatory panel under the Union environment ministry, had last month approved supervised release of GM mustard developed by scientists at the University of Delhi, south campus, for extra field studies and seed development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Many scientists have applauded the GEAC decision, saying GM mustard &amp;mdash; expected to deliver 25-30 per cent higher yields than standard varieties &amp;mdash; will help reduce the country&amp;rsquo;s edible oil import bill and lower agriculture&amp;rsquo;s environmental footprint in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But members of the Sarson Satyagraha do not agree with those assessments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m not impressed &amp;mdash; what is being promoted is not an environment-friendly approach,&amp;rdquo; said Satvinder K. Mann, a former plant pathologist at the Punjab Agricultural University. &amp;ldquo;Such technologies encourage monoculture, which tends to drive evolution of pests towards resistance,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sarson Satyagraha has claimed that India is nearly self-sufficient in mustard oil production&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A group of farmers and scientists on Friday announced its intention to step up resistance against what they view as the Centre&amp;rsquo;s moves towards the release of genetically modified mustard for commercial cultivation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We will activate all possible democratic and non-violent avenues available to us and ensure that GM mustard planting does not end up being an irreversible, unaccountable misadventure,&amp;rdquo; the group, which calls itself Sarson Satyagraha, said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Genetic Engineering and Appraisal Committee, a regulatory panel under the Union environment ministry, had last month approved supervised release of GM mustard developed by scientists at the University of Delhi, south campus, for extra field studies and seed development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Many scientists have applauded the GEAC decision, saying GM mustard &amp;mdash; expected to deliver 25-30 per cent higher yields than standard varieties &amp;mdash; will help reduce the country&amp;rsquo;s edible oil import bill and lower agriculture&amp;rsquo;s environmental footprint in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But members of the Sarson Satyagraha do not agree with those assessments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m not impressed &amp;mdash; what is being promoted is not an environment-friendly approach,&amp;rdquo; said Satvinder K.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A group of farmers and scientists on Friday announced its intention to step up resistance against what they view as the Centre&amp;rsquo;s moves towards the release of genetically modified mustard for commercial cultivation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We will activate all possible democratic and non-violent avenues available to us and ensure that GM mustard planting does not end up being an irreversible, unaccountable misadventure,&amp;rdquo; the group, which calls itself Sarson Satyagraha, said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Genetic Engineering and Appraisal Committee, a regulatory panel under the Union environment ministry, had last month approved supervised release of GM mustard developed by scientists at the University of Delhi, south campus, for extra field studies and seed development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Many scientists have applauded the GEAC decision, saying GM mustard &amp;mdash; expected to deliver 25-30 per cent higher yields than standard varieties &amp;mdash; will help reduce the country&amp;rsquo;s edible oil import bill and lower agriculture&amp;rsquo;s environmental footprint in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But members of the Sarson Satyagraha do not agree with those assessments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m not impressed &amp;mdash; what is being promoted is not an environment-friendly approach,&amp;rdquo; said Satvinder K. Mann, a former plant pathologist at the Punjab Agricultural University. &amp;ldquo;Such technologies encourage monoculture, which tends to drive evolution of pests towards resistance,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;/p&gt;

Farmers to step up resistance to GM mustard

-The Telegraph Sarson Satyagraha has claimed that India is nearly self-sufficient in mustard oil production New Delhi: A group of farmers and scientists on Friday announced its intention to step up resistance against what they view as the Centre’s moves towards the release of genetically modified mustard for commercial cultivation. “We will activate all possible democratic and non-violent avenues available to us and ensure that GM mustard planting does not end up being an irreversible, unaccountable misadventure,” the group, which calls itself Sarson Satyagraha, said in a statement. The Genetic Engineering and Appraisal Committee, a regulatory panel under the Union environment ministry, had last month approved supervised release of GM mustard developed by scientists at the University of Delhi, south campus, for extra field studies and seed development. Many scientists have applauded the GEAC decision, saying GM mustard — expected to deliver 25-30 per cent higher yields than standard varieties — will help reduce the country’s edible oil import bill and lower agriculture’s environmental footprint in the country. But members of the Sarson Satyagraha do not agree with those assessments. “I’m not impressed — what is being promoted is not an environment-friendly approach,” said Satvinder K. Mann, a former plant pathologist at the Punjab Agricultural University. “Such technologies encourage monoculture, which tends to drive evolution of pests towards resistance,” she said.
