The PAN sincerely hope that there are no further disruptions to the completion of this important research, such as that caused by the recent militant attack on Golden Rice research fields in Bicol. The research will provide the answers on the safety, efficacy of Golden Rice. The PAN recognizes that the collaborative efforts within the on-going research are monitored by all stakeholders to assure that it follows the international and national standards considering safety to our environment and the population. Moreover, the PAN supports the quest to identify additional potential interventions that can be included in the mix of interventions that will contribute to the reduction of vitamin A deficiency and micronutrient deficiency in general. Hence, the completion of the research on Golden Rice is crucial. PAN supports research on golden riceOctober 31, 2013 | |
