The criminal organisation known as Monsanto has been granted a patent on Nap Hal wheat, used to make chapatis, despite the fact that in fact it is the collective result of generations of farmers in India who spent years crossbreeding for its special properties.
There is little hope of the Indian government intervening to fight the patent - it simply cannot afford the legal fees, having spent hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting a US decision to grant a Texan company a patent on basmati rice in 1997.

And the most comprehensive study yet made of chemical use on genetically modified crops, which Monsanto pushes heavily in conjunction with it's herbicide Roundup, shows that in the long term more herbicides and pesticides are used.
When first introduced most of the GM crops needed up to 25% fewer chemicals for the first three years, but afterwards significantly more. During 2002-2003, an average of 29% more herbicide was applied per acre on GM maize.
