'Golden' rice is a genetically engineered (GE) rice variety that has been developed by industry to produce pro-vitamin A. Its proponents have hyped GE 'Golden' rice as a quick-fix solution to vitamin A deficiency which is prevalent in developing countries.
Catholic and Muslim leaders, scientists, mothers, politicians, chefs and activists – each one opposing GE 'Golden' rice for various reasons - speak about solutions to nutrients deficiencies already available in the rich Philippines food diversity.
