Golden Rice needs to be integrated into food environments and nutrition strategies. Abstract Following its approval in the Philippines in July 2021, provitamin A-rich “Golden Rice” is set to become the worlds' first commercialized genetically modified crop with direct consumer benefits. Despite suppl...
GMOs have the potential to reduce world hunger and malnourishment, particularly for those living in low-income countries. Examples of such innovations include ‘golden rice’, which is being modified to have an enhanced level of the much-needed vitamin beta-carotene. Other types of rice have been...
The case of the golden rice (where some 400 farmers uprooted the genetically modified plant) will show that there are groups and advocates of anti-GMO products in the Philippines. Supreme Court stand on GMOs 'We believe with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) we have signed with various ag...
It is in the area of public-private partnerships that both Bayer and Monsanto believe they can create a more positive conversation on the potential of GMO. “Public-private partnerships such as the Golden Rice project or the African Biofortified Sorghum project have allowed public institutions to ...
Thats good news for our food supply and the business offarming.Some GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are specially made to be packed with extravitamins, minerals, and other health benefits. For example, Swiss researchers created a strainof “golden” rice with a lot of beta-carotene (β-...
We identify the origins, and key characteristics, of the current regulatory framework for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the European Union (EU). We focus on the approach of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assessing GMO risks to public and environmental health. An historica...
a thing of the past in places where it was once common, from China to Switzerland. Nearly three-quarters of countries mandate that at least some mass-produced foods are fortified, but rice is usually not—making the Philippines' recent ban on “golden rice”, genetically modified to have ext...
]. In this context, rice (Oryza sativa), a predominant food source in Asian countries, has been genetically modified by the insertion of two genes (encoding phytoene synthase and carotene desaturase) to improve the production and accumulation ofβ-carotene in the grains [57 ...

The Canadian government recently approved the sale of genetically modified golden rice that’s fortified with Vitamin A. It’s an example of a GM food that directly benefits consumers. Credit: Josep Folta/Flickr Genetically modified (GM) foods for human consumption have long been a subject ofinte...
