On the Philippine controversy about Golden Rice and Bt eggplants
Researchers at the Philippine Rice Research Institute and the International Rice Research Institute are intent on developing a variety of rice that produces beta carotene and if they proceed, they will be the first to grow GM rice commercially. Meanwhile, the country's agriculture secretary, Proceso Alcala, is fiercely opposed to the scientists' plans and is making his opinions known--this is shaping up to be quite the domestic and potentially global controversy.
