5. Bt Cotton: Cultivating Farmer Distress in India
   Resource Type: Article
   First Published: 2020
   To date, cotton is the only officially sanctioned GM crop in India.

Ever since its commercialisation in 2002, however, the issue of Bt cotton in India has been a hotly contested issue. Bt cotton hybrids now cover over 95% of the area under cotton and the seeds are produced by the private sector.
