GM Food in your daily tadka or avakaya - Are you Worried

Talk and Discussion on Genetically Modified Mustard

Led by Dr.Ramanjaneyulu from Centre for Sustainable Agriculture.

September 10th(Saturday), 5-7 pm

Venue: Lamakaan, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad

Globally people have serious concerns about effects on health and environment over Genetically Modified Food crops and not many have been approved so far. In India, an attempt to commercialise Bt Brinjal faced with a moratorium in 2009 after public consultation. But now, GM Mustard is coming up for approval in September/October! It is shrouded in secrecy, with the government keeping data away from public domain. Mustard is a very important food crop consumed in many forms - oil, seed, mustard paste, pickles like avakaya, and as a leafy vegetable.

Will you be worried and act on it now? Or will you wait until it is too late? Should we not question the faulty and flawed process of the regulators ? These and many more, are the questions being asked by many people across India right now. Dr. G.V Ramanjaneyulu will make a presentation on GM crops, particularly mustard, and speak about the concerns. This will be followed by an interactive discussion.

All are Welcome!
