It covers Indian scenario in a separate section, where the history of genetic proliferation in Indian agriculture and statewise approach to Bt cotton are discussed. The report lays special emphasis on crops in the pipeline with their approval status, regulations, role of government, etc. It also compares India with other countries on various metrics. The appendix includes a list of all approved GM crops with details and approval status.
