Golden rice is a special advantage to developing countries meals since it provides more nutrients.
Can provide more crops since it can withstand rough weather/environments

Beta carotene levels in golden rice may not be high enough to make a difference according to some studies.
Farmers tend to like natural products instead of gmo but they will lose a lot of profit from their farms.]]> 2020-11-19 01:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/241773/9g8gj7cmlxvdfuld/wish/939428160 Fun/extra facts 241773 https://padlet.com/241773/9g8gj7cmlxvdfuld/wish/939441434 Golden rice can provide children with 60% of their daily recommended intake of vitamin A.
As of 2016 golden rice has not yet been grown commercially.
Many scientist believes Golden rice offers no nutrional benfits while others say it does which makes it controversial
