“There’s this song in the Philippines, the ‘bahay kubo’ (nipa hut), it mentions all the vegetables you could probably grow in your backyard. If we could just teach people not only to sing this song, but also to plant these vegetables again in their backyard, you know, malnutrition would be solved in the Philippines."

Golden Rice Photo-Story in the Philippines

Communities of farmers, religious leaders, mothers, academics, chefs and politicians reject genetically engineered (GE) ‘Golden’ rice as a cure to the vitamin A deficiency (VAD) problem in the Philippines. Greenpeace celebrates the natural diversity of food and farming in the Philippines as the real cure to Vitamin A deficiency. Genetically engineered (GE) food such as ‘Golden’ rice is environmentally irresponsible, poses risks to human health and could compromise food and nutrition security. Facilitating people's access to a varied diet of ecologically farmed food, through home and communal gardens, is the most effective and sustainable solution to tackle vitamin deficiencies in the long term and ensure healthy and nutritious food for people.
