Rice Farmers in the Philippines
Cyril B. Gano (center), Tuali tribe chief rice farmer with members of his community, Banaue, Philippines. The Banaue rice terraces are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The terraces were declared a GE free zone, by the provincial government in 2009.
“The Banaue rice terraces were given to us by our forefathers. Our ancestors built them a long time ago, pre dating the time of Jesus. Rice is the main food we eat but we also supplement it with other crops like sweet potatoes. Rice is a way of life, an important part of our traditional rituals."

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.
