  • A Golden Rice Opportunity

    The most trusted source of data, as correctly referred in Lomborg's article comes from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), the Philippines. If you r really interested in peer-reviewed papers and authentic information on golden rice browse IRRI golden rice page : http://www.irri.org/goldenrice/
    I understand Golden rice would be made available in varietal background by respective Govt funded public sector institutes in the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia and India. Enriching crops with nutritional traits is the most cost effective, timely and desirable way to reach those most vulnerable and malnourished women and children, often left out of various fortification schemes. The big moral question is how long they be denied of this golden opportunity?
