Abstract

In the global battle against malnutrition and vitamin A deficiency, Golden Rice shines as a beacon of hope, offering a promising solution to a pervasive public health challenge. Developed through biotechnology, Golden Rice is genetically engineered to produce beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, making it a potential game-changer in efforts to improve nutrition and reduce the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency-related diseases. In this article, we explore the origins, controversies, benefits, and future prospects of Golden Rice.
