#GoldenRice is biofortified to contain beta-carotene in its grains to address vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a public health problem. A pilot-scale deployment after its commercial approval in the #Philippines demonstrated field performance comparable to other rice varieties… doi.org/10.1038/s415... >>

Bis auf den Nebenschauplatz der Kernenergie (die natürlich den Ausbau der Erneuerbaren verlangsamt) stimme ich komplett überein.

#GoldenRice can produce enough #betacarotene to contribute meaningfully to #vitaminA intake. Its technology was transferred to public sector #plantbreeding programs in low- & middle-income countries, where locally adapted varieties were developed… (1/2) doi.org/10.1016/j.tj...

#GoldenRice can contribute meaningfully to #vitaminA intake. Both #Bangladesh & the #Philippines developed locally adapted varieties matching conventional #rice in agronomic performance, cultivation practices & cost, but regulatory hurdles stalled their release… (1/2) doi.org/10.12688/ver...

#Petition: There's a huge body of #evidence that proves #GMO technology is as safe as any other. This includes #GoldenRice, which passed #foodsafety assessments & is approved in many countries. It can address #vitaminA deficiency & save #children lives: https://act.weplanet.org/golden-rice-defend-science #nutrition

No #GMO crops with #nutrition benefits (such as #GoldenRice & Folate #Biofortified Rice) are commercialized. But #consumers are generally in favour of their introduction—which would generate large #health benefits at relatively low costs: https://doi.org/10.1017/9781316585269.013 #plantbreeding

Der Goldene Reis wird missbraucht: #Gentechnik-Reis kann dazu beitragen, Kinder vor dem Tod zu retten. Aber das meiste „Genfood“ erleichtert nur eine umweltschädliche #Landwirtschaft. Deshalb sollte es weiter gekennzeichnet werden. Die EU-Kommission muss ihren Vorschlag aufgeben, die Wahlfreiheit der Verbraucher zu kippen. https://taz.de/Streit-ueber-neue-Regeln-fuer-Gentechnik/!6033922/ #GoldenRice
