Team members of the RIPE project transplanting seedlings for the 2016 field trials. RIPE is engineering crops that more efficiently turn the sun's energy into food. This project could increase yields by as much as 60% to help smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia feed their communities and provide for their families.

Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) is engineering plants to more efficiently turn the sun’s energy into food to sustainably increase worldwide food productivity. The international research project is funded by a $25 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Actor Dominic Ochoa takes his photo during the Rice Fest Dinner hosted by Greenpeace and Mara's Organic Market last 22 March 2007 at Le Souffle @ Top of the City in Makati. The dinner is part of Greenpeace's "I love my rice GMO-free" campaign to keep rice in the country free of genetically-modified organisms. The campaign includes a cyber petition addressed to the Department of Agriculture, kits for spreading information, and a rice blog open to posting from the public. The Philippine government is currently reviewing an application for GMO rice here in the Philippines. "I love my rice GMO-free" may be accessed at www.greenpeace.org.ph.

Greenpeace activists dressed as GMO "monster crops" accompanied by "mad scientists" march to the Department of Agriculture. Greenpeace together with other concerned organizations are demanding the Philippine government to "stop GMO invasion" by cancelling all commercialization and field trials of genetically-modified organisms in the country.
The Department of Agriculture, responsible for regulating GMOs, has never denied approval for any GMO crop. Greenpeace contends that GMOs are dangerous to human health, biodiversity and farmers’ livelihoods.
