This thesis will be guided by the question, "are GMO's natural and should they be used in agriculture today?" and focused by the question ,"why do almost all Indian farmers adopt Monsanto's Bt cotton seed?". I will do content analysis of Monsanto advertisements, read studies which propose why cotton yields in India have significantly increased in the past decade, and examine GIS maps that show rainfall, yields, and socioeconomic status to answer my focus question.
