Scientists at Shenzhen PGI Research in China have discovered a new type of genetically modified rice seed that can be harvested for years if planted once.
The Chinese government has recommended farmers to use this genetically modified variety of rice.
This type of rice is environmentally friendly, yielding 2 times more than traditional rice varieties.
This new type of rice crop will help to solve problems such as lack of machinery and labor and to produce more rice using less agricultural land.
