Bt Brinjal is a transgenic brinjal created out of inserting a gene from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis into Brinjal.
This is said to give the Brinjal plant resistance against lepidopteran insects like the Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer (Leucinodes orbonalis) and Fruit Borer (Helicoverpa armigera). It is reported that upon ingestion of the Bt toxin by the insect, there would be disruption of digestive processes, ultimately resulting in the death of the insect.
In way that quantum of pesticide use is getting comedown, overall farmers will get good and healthy yield.
Most of the scientist says Bt brinjal good for better, with opposite to this, some experts and farmers union says it will disturb the nature.

Sustainable agriculture is a potential land use system to support food, fuel, fodder, timber, green manure, medicine and flower production and to increase the socio-economic status of the rural poor. The current agricultural practices are unsustainable, leads to agrochemical pollution, top soil loss, loss of biodiversity, depleting aquifers and deforestation etc, while working towards achieving higher economic profit and conservation of natural resource.

Debate for the month?
Every body is saying Sustainable Agriculture practices are the best tool for getting better yield. It allows low external inputs and mainly depends on local resources. My question is Can Sustainable agriculture practices is going to feed existing population hunger? If it is yes explain or if it is no explain.
