While Golden Rice is a promising tool in the fight against VAD, it is not a panacea. Other solutions include:
Dietary Diversification: Encouraging the consumption of a variety of foods rich in vitamin A, such as leafy greens, fruits, and animal products. Fortification: Adding vitamin A to commonly consumed foods, such as sugar, flour, and cooking oil. Supplementation: Providing vitamin A supplements, particularly to at-risk populations like children and pregnant women.
Each of these solutions has its own set of advantages and challenges, and a multifaceted approach is likely necessary to effectively address VAD.
