Effectiveness of Agronomic Biofortification Strategy in Fighting against Hidden Hunger [PDF]

, 2023
Micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs), also known as hidden hunger, affect more than a quarter of the global population. Agronomic biofortification helps to increase the concentration of a target mineral in food crops and improve human mineral dietary intake.

Genetic biofortification of wheat with zinc: Opportunities to fine‐tune zinc uptake, transport and grain loading

, 2021
Zinc (Zn) is an important micronutrient in the human body, and health complications associated with insufficient dietary intake of Zn can be overcome by increasing the bioavailable concentrations in edible parts of crops (biofortification).
