People are poor because they do not have access to food, while in contrast, many countries are very rich. It’s a matter of social injustice and an economic issue. So, the solution is not to provide people with genetically engineered (GE) products, the solution is to address the question of inequality at a political and global economic level.”Locations:Manila-Philippines-Southeast AsiaDate:21 Jan, 2014Credit:© Greenpeace / John NovisMaximum size:5651px X 3768pxKeywords:Asian ethnicities-Christian crosses-Eye contact-Genetic engineering-Golden rice-Half length-Health-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-Men-One person-Portraits-Poverty-Priests-Religious movements and concepts-Rice is Life (campaign title)-SAGE (campaign title)Shoot:Golden Rice Photo-Story in the PhilippinesCommunities of farmers, religious leaders, mothers, academics, chefs and politicians reject genetically engineered (GE) ‘Golden’ rice as a cure to the vitamin A deficiency (VAD) problem in the Philippines. Greenpeace celebrates the natural diversity of food and farming in the Philippines as the real cure to Vitamin A deficiency. Genetically engineered (GE) food such as ‘Golden’ rice is environmentally irresponsible, poses risks to human health and could compromise food and nutrition security. Facilitating people's access to a varied diet of ecologically farmed food, through home and communal gardens, is the most effective and sustainable solution to tackle vitamin deficiencies in the long term and ensure healthy and nutritious food for people.Related Collections:Golden Rice Photo-Story and Documentary
