GM Rice

The Golden Rice project, which began in the early 1990’s, was a result of a collaborative effort between the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH-Zurich) and the University of Freiburg, Germany. Ingo Potrykus and Peter Byer are its main developers. Funding was obtained from ETH-Zurich itself, the European Commission’s agricultural research program, and the Rockefeller Foundation.
