Pesticides are currently a leading method used in suicide deaths world wide.
No self poisoning is safe, but some pesticides could be made safer. Glyphosate is somewhat less harmful than a bunch of other pesticides, but the formulations of glyphosate tend to add other more dangerous chemicals.
Suicide is a complex phenomena, and reducing it down to "GMO kills farmers" misses that complexity, especially in places like India.
