Greenpeace have also claimed that Golden Rice would not work; that it would not deliver enough vitamin A to be effective, or that it would produce so much as to be dangerous.
All these claims are false.
Greenpeace have so severely and repeatedly misrepresented facts and distorted policy deliberations that their extensive misrepresentations have provoked
India into revoking their license to operate due to "fraud",
although this order has now been put on hold. This follows official sanctions for their dishonest propaganda campaigns in
Australia and
Canada.
While Greenpeace have led the fact-challenged propaganda campaign against innovations in agricultural biotechnology, others driven by dogma rather than data have also been active. Some from the organic community have decided biotechnology innovations threaten their business model (for example, by taking the Bt pesticide widely used by organic growers and making it accessible to conventional farmers by incorporating it into the seeds of corn and cotton to help repel pests in a way that is safe for humans and better for the environment).
