Health Ranger releases first photo from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab. (NaturalNews) At the request of many readers and fans, I'm releasing the first official photo from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab (see below).

Health Ranger releases first photo from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab

So many readers have been asking what I'm up to with the food science research and pending announcement on January 7, 2014 that I wanted to give you this photo plus an update on the research. What you're looking at in the photo is part of an atomic spectroscopy laboratory with extraordinary capabilities including parts per trillion detection of atomic elements as well as advanced, high-level isotopic ratio analysis capabilities. Somewhere in the background there's also a collection of Ion-Selective Electrodes with various testing capabilities. I'm not yet showing you all the instrumentation, but anyone who knows their way around a lab can probably recognize the peri pump in this photo and figure out what it's attached to. (Hint: It's worth more than a Lamborghini...) The red object on the workbench with the open lid is a standard centrifuge. The Voice of Agriculture - American Farm Bureau. 100 Years: The Rockefeller Foundation.

In the early 1980s the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) undertook an ambitious rice program that in many ways represented a return to its historical roots in molecular biology.

100 Years: The Rockefeller Foundation

RF-supported basic research had enabled the emergence of molecular biology as a field in the 1930s and 1940s. But as industry and government began funding such research, the RF shifted its support to concentration to agricultural development, creating innovations that eventually fueled the “Green Revolution” in the 1950s and 1960s. By the 1980s, RF-initiated programs in food production and distribution had become largely self-sufficient or were supported by a host of other agencies. Meanwhile, researchers in molecular biology were on the verge of significant breakthroughs in genomic mapping, and the RF now sought to capitalize on technologies that might help solve more intricate problems of nutritional content.

The ABSP II Southeast Asia Center is spearheading efforts to develop and commercialize biotechnology products from public research so that these can reach the Southeast Asian market. The Institute of Plant Breeding at the University of the Philippines Los Banos is the Southeast Asian Regional Coordination Center for ABSP II. It oversees project activities in the Philippines and Indonesia. The regional center in Southeast Asia collaborates with three regional centers located in East Africa, West Africa, and South Asia, and with other institutions in the north.
