Food modification has been recognized as an essential solution to combat food insecurity, particularly among vulnerable children in developing countries. Researchers used genetic engineering to infuse rice with the provitamin A pathway, yielding Golden Rice, a nutrient-enhanced variety with a higher percentage of β-carotene. By adopting Golden Rice, healthcare costs can be substantially reduced, making it a cost-efficient solution. The focus has now turned to establishing efficient pathways to get Golden Rice into the hands of farmers, an unprecedented approach in public sector research made possible by global research partnerships and collaborations. Scientists are currently conducting additional studies to boost the nutritional profile of Golden Rice even further.
