Dr. Gerard Barry, former Golden Rice Network coordinator at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; http://irri.org), talks in 2011 about IRRI's work to develop Golden Rice as a way to address vitamin A deficiency in Bangladesh and the Philippines. 

Helen Keller International - http://www.hki.org - a leading global health organization that reduces blindness and prevents malnutrition worldwide - has joined the effort to assess how well Golden Rice can reduce vitamin A deficiency.
