Golden Rice is a genetically engineered type of rice designed to combat vitamin A deficiency. Developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, this rice contains genes from daffodils and bacteria, producing beta-carotene. Despite its potential health benefits, opponents such as Greenpeace Southeast Asia have raised concerns about its safety and impact on local agriculture. Supporters, on the other hand, emphasize the product’s safety, humanitarian benefits, and lack of patent restrictions.
