Golden Rice has the potential to reduce vitamin A deficiency by more than half according to multiple studies. It is a cost-efficient and sustainable solution to deliver vitamin A compared to other interventions like supplementation and fortification which have limitations and are not reaching all people in need. The development of Golden Rice and other biofortified staple crops through conventional breeding or modern biotechnology can help address micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. International programs are working to biofortify important staple crops with provitamin A, iron, zinc and protein.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Translational aspects
- Nominal concordance with opposite outcomes. Another matter of perception and perspective.
- Focusing primeval fears onto a scapegoat.
- Polypeas; orangiwis; capsipersicon (capsimatos, topsicum); technicolorflower
- Food with a bite. It was us, the scientists, who coined the term chimeric genes back in the 1980s.
- Another perception: GM crops create wealth only for the multinaitonals. Luckily, the huge success with Bt cotton in India, for example, is showing how GM crops can make a huge difference for poor smallholders. In the case of GR, for a long time IP issues were held to be responsible of delays.
- And yet another perception (fear) : scientists will not stop there.
- Urbanized populations often have romanticized views of living on and off the land and would like to preserve everything according to their own image of what farming used to be.
- The problem is of course not just lack of nutritious food.
- The burden of disease (here measured as DALYs, which not only includes mortaility but also disability).
- According to the World Health Organization (WHO) clinical to severe sub-clinical vitamin A deficiency (VAD) affects most developing countries. Other micronutrient deficiencies, like Zn, Fe, and I, have a similar distribution pattern, affecting even more developed countries. Combined deficiencies have a devastating effect on human health.
- There is a clear association between VAD and mortality rate among young children. The severity of VAD correlates with ocular signs, mainly xerophthalmia and its associated symptomatology, eg night blindness and corneal degeneration. There is a 900 percent increment in mortality!! About half of the children that become blind as a consequence of VAD die from various diseases, like measles or malaria, within a year of becoming blind. Thus, VAD blindness is but a symptom of a much severe nutritional deficiency affecting the children.
- Rice grain composition: high carbohydrate, average protein (-Lys), los minerals, no beta-carotene.
- Various intervention strategies have achieved notable results in a number of countries, yet even in the best cases approx 30 percent of the population remains VA deficient. Typical interventions are education, industrial fortification, and supplementation. Industrial fortification is a common conduit to administer essential nutrients to an affluent population, eg iodine-enriched salt or vitamin A-enriched margarine. Supplementation consists of providing children with one or two megadoses of vitamin A a year, in capsules. Serum retinol (vit A) levels go down significantly between interventions. These interventions are limited by the logistic requirements of the corresponding distribution networks and the need for centralised processing. They are also affected by geographical limitations, which makes them only partially applicable. Furthermore, the interventions just mentioned require constant funding inputs, which makes them unsustainable in the long term. Only 34% of children under five recevie two annual doses in India. Industrial fortification is hard to achieve in poor, agricultural societies, where the produce is consumed by the farmer and his family or traded locally. This sector of society is often served using the supplementation approach, ie administration of pills and the like. These programmes are usually linked to vaccination campaigns and other health-related services. The logistics behind these efforts make it very hard to achieve acceptable levels of coverage. Urban areas are more accessible to supplementation programmes, but even though the share of urban population is increasing all over the world, most countries with severe VAD are rural societies. Every affected country requires individually tailored programmes and rely mostly on foreign help and government goodwill. This explains why in 1999 only 43 countries, out of 100 countries in need of supplementation, received a 70 percent coverage of one yearly megadose to under-five children.
- Biofortification represents a viable alternative for micronutrient delivery. In this approach plants produce or accumulate the required nutrients in the edible parts micronutrient-dense). This is traditionally achieved by breeding, unless the desired trait is not available in existing, sexually compatible germplasm. Biofortification offers a sustainable solution, with the potential to complement current interventions and fill in existing coverage gaps left by supplementation programmes. The advantages of biofortification are evident. The generation of a plant variety is a one-off investment. In the case of genetic engineering, the research phase can involve a high initial investment, which must be justified by the expected socio-economic impact. But once a trait has been engineered into a variety it can be easily transferred to any locally adapted variety by traditional breeding. 500 m vitA capsules per year > $500 m Iron > $1 bn in recurrent costs $200 m public investment in iodine fort plus $1.5 bn from private industry
- The goal is to reduce the proportion of people below RDA. In average 45 percent of under-five children in devleoping countries are not covered by fortification or supplementation programmes. Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) are used as a measure of mortality + disability due to selected deficiencies, like in this case micronutrients. Although most numbers are based on under-five children, these numbers remind us of the real dimension of the problem. We hope that the same organisations who are campaigning so strongly against GMOs, one day will be strongly supporting approaches like GR, once they understand that this is a sustainable alternative to other approaches. The regulatory equation blows up the theoretical risk and ignores the real benefit. Bt rice (rice expressing the insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein) will improve gains by farmers, but according to this World Bank analysis, gains from improved health will by far surpass farming gains. Projected gains are in the billions of dollars, while expected losses stemming from import bans from Europe would amount to less than 0.5 percent of the projected gains. 70 percent of the world’s poor live in Asia.
- The costs per DALY under the two scenarios vary between $19.40 and $3.06. This compares very favorably against the costs for supplementation US$134-599/DALY or the benchmarks given by the World Bank ($217, which corresponds to one per capita income) or WHO (US$620 [3 pci] or $2,986 [PPP adjusted]).

Projected gains are in the billions of dollars, while expected losses stemming from import bans from Europe would amount to less than 0.5 percent of the projected gains.
- We can expect more biofortified crops in the near future.
- Biofortification is progressing at multiple levels: multiinstitutional, multicrop, multitrait, multistrategy –transgenic and non-transgenic. A number of projects funded through the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been so to say catalysed by the GR Project. These projects are applying similar approaches to cassava, banana, sorghum. All projects are geared towards the incorporation of traits to stack together carotenoid production, iron and zinc accumulation, vitamin E and high-quality protein production. These efforts go hand in hand with the HarvestPlus consortium.
- The last year has witnessed major progress of the GR Project, with the first GR field trial and the arrival of selected GR lines in Asia for introgression. Deregulation will be handled on a country-by-country basis and will involve the usual requirements, although it is hoped that most of the regulatory dossier will be transferable from country to country, eg through the Biosafety Clearinghouse mechanism established by the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD). Meanwhile, science goes on, and is geared towards tackling other important micronutrient deficiency problems.
- RNI = 300 RE (DRI-NAS)
- Clear criteria for variety selection. To reach the target population varieties must be popular or pipeline varieties expected to become popular, especially in VAD-prone areas.

- HarvestPlus has gained valuable experience in handling matters of colour perception during the introduction of orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) into southern Africa. Although OFSP is widely used in South America, African countries have been using only white-fleshed varieties since the crop was introduced into the continent. Village-level campaigns have been very successful in gaining acceptance for OFSP varieties. This is what we should be doing by now with Golden Rice, but we can’t because of regulation.
