Synopsis
The Green Revolution in India paved way for chemical
intensive cultivation and a monocrop culture. Inspite
of its economic merits - environmentalists believe
it to be the first step to agricultural damnation.
Over the years, just as super pests took over the
average field pest, green revolution has made way
to the gene revolution. Spawning a new generation
of seeds that cross species barriers and claim to
succeed where chemicals and pesticides have failed.
Biotechnology has travelled far.

|
|
|
|
| |
|
Large corporations across the globe find this genetic
manipulation of the seed a sure recipe for success.
Genetic engineering has opened the door to global
markets, and many chemical giants are eager to grab
their share of the loot. The US based mutinational
Monsanto is one such player in the field of Biotech
industry. Monsanto has diversified its interests from
selling chemicals to selling the life sciences. In
the name of - food, health and hope.

With the
Indian markets opening to new technology and products,
how safe are we in the hands of our policy makers? The
film seeks to understand the issue of food security
in the Indian context and raises questions about bio-safety
and bio-ethics and the entry of multinationals like
Monsanto, into a country that still looks towards a
field, rather than a lab, for its sustenance.
