Last year, designated by the United Nation as the Year of Rice, The Syngenta
Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture asked the two inventors of Golden
Rice to talk about their discovery and about its future. We also asked
Syngenta to clarify its role with the Golden Rice program. All three readily
agreed, and in October 2004 in honour of World Food Day, together gave
this Syngenta lecture in Basel, Switzerland.
Their remarks are included here in their entirety, except for minor editing
to condense pauses and smooth transitions. Each part, including the question
and answer follow-up with closing remarks of Syngenta Foundation Excecutive
Director, Andrew Bennett, can be viewed on its own.
Among the questions addressed in the lecture; Why Golden Rice * What
daily intake of Golden Rice is estimated to help reduce VAD * Who owns
Golden Rice * Can farmers freely reuse seed * What is the taste of Golden
Rice * Are there cultural issues with eating colored rice * What are the
environmental effects * When and where will Golden Rice become available
