Biofortification: a new tool to reduce micronutrient malnutrition.

Food and nutrition bulletin - 1 Mar 2011

Bouis Howarth E, Hotz Christine, McClafferty Bonnie, Meenakshi J V, Pfeiffer Wolfgang H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The density of minerals and vitamins in food staples eaten widely by the poor may be increased either through conventional plant breeding or through the use of transgenic techniques, a process known as biofortification. OBJECTIVE: HarvestPlus seeks to develop and distribute varieties of food staples (rice, wheat, maize, cassava, pearl millet, beans, and sweet potato) that are high in iron, zinc, and...
