Genetic Modified Rice

Genetically modified rice will introduce rice as the most necessary food in Asia. For thousands of years, farmers have planted rice. Actual plant breeders continue to make efforts to improve the ability of rice to protect themselves from diseases. Every day, genetic engineering is used to achieve the purpose of breeding. "Rice, maize and wheat are the most important crops in the world, rice is the main food source of almost half of the world's population."

Let's consider the story of genetically modified golden rice. Some companies have found ridiculous problems of (declining) (useful) scientific capacity as human savior. Malnutrition and nutrient deficiency are common in many developing countries, and my collaborators, Yaneer Bar Yam and Joe Norman, consider this a simple and very simple transport problem. Briefly, we waste more than a third of the food supply, a simple improvement in logistics far outweighs the benefits of change in supply. Just think that 80% or 85% of the cost of tomato is due to transportation, storage and waste (due to the collapse of unsold inventory), not farmer's cost.

Golden rice is a reinforced crop of genetically modified organisms. Bioenhancement enhances the nutritional value of crops. Golden rice is genetically engineered to produce beta carotene. Beta carotene is not normally produced in rice. As the body is metabolized, β-carotene is ingested by vitamin A. Vitamin A is necessary to keep our skin healthy. The Golden Rice Project was introduced in 1999. Two professors, Ingo Potricas and Peter Bayer gave their projects to the Rockefeller Foundation and genetically engineered rice to increase nutrition. The Rockefeller Foundation supports their goal of providing sustainable bioengineering methods to combat vitamin A deficiency in developing countries. Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is common in developing countries and meals depend on rice and other carbohydrate foods that do not contain micronutrients These foods do not contain vitamin A.
