Economics of biofortification [PDF]

Agricultural Economics, 2007
AbstractMicronutrient malnutrition is a serious public health problem in many developing countries. Different interventions are currently used, but their overall coverage is relatively limited. Biofortification—that is, breeding staple food crops for higher micronutrient contents—is a new agriculture‐based approach, but relatively little is known about
