... Sumant Kumar has outproduced—by a full two tons!—the Chinese agricultural scientist called the “father of rice”, who’d previously held the record for rice output.. It puts to shame anything produced by World Bank funded scientists of the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines. No genetically modified crops, for all their claims, have come close.
Do you think the rice they are using in this project hasn't been genetically modified in some way over time? Are you sure the rice they're using isn't a relative of one of the many high yield rice strains Norman Borlaug developed back in the 60s'?
You do realize that the work Borlaug did to create rice that was more disease resistant, and that produced greater yields, was genetically modified, right?
