Rice Philippines Terraces

Caption

Rice fields in the Cordillera mountains of northern Luzon, the Philippines. A new study based on surveys and interviews of more than 115 rice farmers in the Nueva Ecija region, part of the 'rice bowl' of the Philippines, finds that that most families at risk for Vitamin A deficiency can't grow Golden Rice themselves, and most commercial farmers won't grow it either.
