Green super rice is coming

Insect-Resistant Genetically Modified Rice in China: From Research to Commercialization

As a result of GRiSP’s contributions to increased supplies and reduced rice prices, at least 60 million undernourished people can afford to reach caloric sufficiency, thus reducing hunger by more than 12% in target regions. A significant proportion of world rice production will better meet local food preferences. Nutritional enhancement will save millions of disability-adjusted life years, formerly lost because of vitamin A, iron, and zinc micronutrient deficiencies.


I don't know the relationship to this project, maybe they are trying to do the same thing with a different method, or a different thing.

"The Nutritious Rice for the World project, in which IRRI participates, aims to predict the structure of proteins of major strains of rice."
