Beautiful News Daily – June 30th, 2020 – Bio-Fortified Golden Rice Could Reduce Vitamin A Deficiency, Saving Lives (Narrated by Brian)
Vitamin A is crucial for our vision and immune system. Consistent lack of certain beta-carotene laden foods (carrots, leafy greens) can mean deficiency, which can cause blindness and premature death.
Golden rice took eight years to develop. It tastes the same as normal rice, but three extra genes give us the beta-carotene we need. It has proven itself in trials, and won a ‘Patent For Humanity’ award. Countries are now legislating to approve it.
