Golden rice is enhanced with a gene to infuse the grain with life-saving vitamin A for malnourished children. It could be that game-changer. A third of a million children are affected, and many die or go blind each year due to vitamin A deficiency. Golden rice can help save them.
Greenpeace and other legacy anti-GMO groups are blocking this life-saving technology in court. And they are being all-too successful. If they carry on winning in court, thousands more children could die as golden rice is faced with years of additional delay.
There is now a huge body of evidence that proves GMO technology is as safe as any other. This includes golden rice, which has passed safety assessments and is approved for use as food in many countries around the world.
We cannot let this kind of anti-science, anti-technology, and anti-people fearmongering win.Will you stand with people in the Global South and declare that you support golden rice to save thousands of young lives?
