Milloin riisiviini on kehitetty?
Golden rice is a variety of rice whose edible parts contain a lot of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. Golden rice has been developed by genetically manipulating Asian rice ("Oryza sativa"). It was developed by Ingo Potrykus together with researcher Peter Beyer of the University of Freiburg at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. The work began in 1992, and its results, considered a breakthrough in biotechnology, were published in 2000. The rice variety aims to combat the problems caused by the one-sided diet of people in developing countries. It is hoped that the new rice variety will save millions of lives and prevent half a million people from going blind each year. The rice variety has not been introduced in developing countries. In developing countries, there is a fear that, from the point of view of Westerners, the food produced in developing countries will be "contaminated" due to genetic manipulation, and the food produced there will not be suitable for Western countries. In addition, many organizations oppose the introduction of golden rice.
