golden rice isn't free if you want to make money off of it (more than $10k it seems). And none has ever been grown for consumption it seems.

- epistasis 7y agoGreat, thank you! Is this an attempt to decommodify food (in the Marxist sense)? Do non-corporate farmers typically make more than $10k/year in developing countries?
