Abstract
Global starvation and inadequate access to food persist in several regions of the developing world. Genetically Modified (GM) crops have been particularly significant for their ability to tackle these issues. The present research explores the multifaceted implications of GM crops on farmer’s rights in India, taking into account regulatory and legal dimensions. The study investigates the possible consequences of GM crop production on the agricultural community’s rights, with an emphasis on issues such as economic dependency, intellectual property rights, and seed-saving practices. By examining existing literature, legal frameworks, and evidence, this research sheds light on both the difficulties and possibilities that arise from the introduction of GM crops in India. The study emphasizes the significance of an in-depth comprehension of the complex relationships between GM technology and farmer rights, with the goal of contributing to well-informed policy discussions and sustainable farming methods. Despite the early enthusiasm surrounding the adoption of GM crops, which were expected to yield larger and better harvests for farmers, there are still questions revolving around the patentability of GM crops in India.
