Why India needs transgenic crops

[ChrisD(RJ)]

Ulhas:
Even a middle class family can not afford to buy a small flat, since the
land prices
are prohibitive in big cities of India. Millons live in slums, pavements
etc. Who can afford a tiny plot for farming?

Me:
How much are rental prices in India, in, say, the suburbs (assuming India
has suburbs in the US sense of the term)? Also, how easy is it to get land?
In Russia, it's in effect free (very low population density) assuming you're
not too picky about where you want to do whatever it is you're going to do
with it.

I must say that Russian food, which is harvested using a relatively low
level of technological development and not loaded with pesticides, is leaps
and bounds better that American food. I swear I never tasted real meat
before I came here. Kaluga chicken is delicious. Sellers get accused on
occasion of trying to foist crappy American produce on consumers, claiming
its domestic and selling at the higher domestic price.
