Genetically engineered crops: who benefits?
Rockefeller and Swiss Government funding, transferred one bacterial gene and two daffodil genes. The transgenic rice grain has a light golden-yellow colour and contains sufficient beta-carotene to meet human vitamin A requirements from rice alone. Over 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency and 2 million die each year indirectly as a ...
