Genetically engineered golden rice: a dangerous experiment

At the heart of the big GM promotional kicking off at the Vatican later this week is Golden Rice.

The organiser of the event is Ingo Potrykus who, together with Peter Raven, who's also an advisor to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, has for much of the last decade been at the heart of the GM PR campaign based around Golden Rice.

http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Ingo_Potrykus

But as this article makes clear there are already tried-and-tested programmes involving cheap, traditional, and readily available solutions to Vitamin A deficiency. So why are the likes of the Rockefeller Foundation pouring huge sums into Golden Rice and the like?

Low-tech, sustainable solutions to hunger and malnutrition are going unfunded, or underfunded, thanks to the governmental biotech industry obsession with the hugely expensive and uncertain technology of genetic engineering.

World Food Prize winner, Hans Herren, whose work on natural biological control helped save the endangered cassava crop in large areas of Africa (from Senegal to Mozambique), removing a threat to the food security of some 300 million people, has commented, "We already know today that most of the problems that are to be addressed via Golden Rice and other GMOs can be resolved in matter of days, with the right political will.

Vitamin A deficiency, like almost all hunger and malnutrition, thrives where there is poverty, poor food distribution, lack of land and resources to grow food, and a lack of political will to address these issues. And if the will and resources are suddenly available to overcome these difficulties in the case of Golden Rice, why are they not available in the case of cheaper alternative sources of vitamin A already available?"

The Golden Rice project makes no sense except in a context of Public Relations.

_____________
Is there a shortage of Vitamin A in the world? NO. Have we lost the ability to plant natural food? NO. Stop trying to tie the poor in developing countries to patents that will only make multinationals richer while making them the guinea pigs for an UNTESTED technology that is not proven safe to eat. Grow more natural greens and provide vitamin supplements to the poor. There is no need for this genetically altered rice. It is clearly a profit making scheme destined to transgenically contaminate natural rice to bring us ever closer to a monocrop world that should it fail, leave us in worldwide famine. Killing biodiversity is not the answer to feeding people, it is the opposite.At the heart of the big GM promotional kicking off at the Vatican later this week is... more
