Die erste Ernte von genverändertem #goldenrice auf den Philippinen ist eingebracht. Provitamin A verbessert die Sehkraft und behebt Vitaminmangel. Leider ist das Projekt wegen Klagen schon wieder gestoppt.

Noch ein sehr guter Artikel zum #GoldenRice im @ZEITmagazin

Diese Geschichte wird schon in naher Zukunft einen riesengroßen Schandfleck für #Greenpeace darstellen.

India, the land which evolved 200,000 rice varieties had its rice heritage destroyed by IRRI
IRRI stole our rices & displaced Dr Richaria ,Director of the CRRI
The IRRI rices destroyed the soil,water ,biodiversity of #Punjab
Now IRRI is implementing #Gates agenda #GoldenRice https://twitter.com/masipagfarmers/status/1643004493066567680

@failedLyndonLaRouchite the arguments about #goldenRice are by no means over. …and I’m old enough to have moved from unthinking & naive enthusiasm for #Borlaug’s #GreenRevolution, to the realisation that in the context of food system resilience, nutrient poor, nitrogen demanding, high yielding hybrid cereals have been a disaster for feeding the world. #diversity & #agroecology based #regenerative #agriculture free of #FossilFuel dependence is the only hope for feeding future generations.

@Sfwmson There are some similarities in the ideas but also some differences. For within-species hybridization multiple traits from both strains appear in the hybrid.

For GMO, it is usually a single trait that is extracted from one species which does not appear in any strain of the target species, and is inserted into the target, resulting in an organism that could not appear in nature in any reasonable human timespan through hybridization alone.

An example is golden rice, which is rice that had bacterial and daffodil genes inserted into rice DNA to resulting in rice that produces vitamin A (beta-carotene).

#Farmers in the Philippines cultivated #GoldenRice on a larger scale. It will now be distributed to women & children at risk of #vitaminA deficiency. This is the first instance of a humanitarian project using a #GMO crop to solve a major #health issue: https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2022/11/the-seeds-have-germinated.html #ag

The first crops of Golden Rice have been harvested in Philipines.

It's an important achievement because this is beta carotene enriched GMO rice designed to prevent blindness in children in the countries where rice is the staple food and where beta carotene deficiency is prevalent.

#GoldenRice:

"Ingo Potrykus erfand vor über 20 Jahren einen Gen-Reis, der Millionen Kinder retten sollte. Jetzt wird der Reis endlich angebaut. Aber auf dem Weg dazu hat der frühere ETH-Professor den Glauben an das Gute im Menschen verloren."

Lesenswert!

Die Entwickler des #GoldenRice haben nie verstanden, dass Essen etwas mit Selbstbestimmung zu tun hat, und eine "Lösung", die Ungerechtigkeit konserviert, indem sie ein Teilproblem löst, eine Scheinlösung ist. Das finde ich erstaunlich. #GrüneGentechnik. https://www.republik.ch/2022/11/26/ingo-potrykus-wollte-die-welt-veraendern-doch-sie-veraenderte-ihn?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-de-DE

Ah, the #GoldenRice story. It is tragic in many ways--so many have suffered or died in the meantime.

But at least it's getting close to saving children now. I hope Potrykus gets to see that.

Ohne Gentechnik hätten #Diabetiker immer noch Pferde- und Schweine, statt Humaninsulin.

#Patente sind das Problem, nicht #Gentechnik an sich.

In diesem Fall gibt es kein Problem mit Patenten. Trotzdem ging #Greenpeace auf ihn los...
