Biofortification

Biofortification is the process of increasing the nutritional quality of food crops by enhancing their content of essential vitamins and minerals through biological methods. Unlike conventional fortification (adding nutrients during food processing), biofortification improves the nutrient levels within the crop itself as it grows.

Yield stability of ten common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes at different sowing dates in Lubumbashi, South-East of DR Congo

Open Agriculture
The common bean is one of the most widely used sources of plant protein in the human diet in developing countries. Despite its importance, production remains relatively low and is likely to worsen as a result of climatic disturbances.

Biofortification—A Frontier Novel Approach to Enrich Micronutrients in Field Crops to Encounter the Nutritional Security

Molecules, 2022
Globally, many developing countries are facing silent epidemics of nutritional deficiencies in human beings and animals. The lack of diversity in diet, i.e., cereal-based crops deficient in mineral nutrients is an additional threat to nutritional quality.
