dc.description.abstractThe presentation reviews project aims: impacts of Bt rice on pesticide uses and rice yield; as well as impacts of reducing pesticide uses on farmers’ health due to adoption of Bt rice. Findings indicate a positive relationship between use of Bt rice, decrease in pesticide use and a slight increase in crop yields. Medical tests indicate the poisonous impact of pesticide usage on farmers’ health. The fall in insecticide applications due to Bt rice adoption can significantly improve farmers’ health in terms of both visible and “invisible” symptoms.en
