What is biofortification?
Biofortification is the development of micronutrient-dense staple crops using the best traditional breeding practices and modern biotechnology.This approach has multiple advantages:-it capitalizes on the regular daily intake of a consistent and large amount of food staples by all family members. Because staple foods predominate in the diets of the poor, this strategy implicitly targets low-income households.-after the one-time investment to develop seeds that fortify themselves, recurrent costs are low, and germplasm can be shared internationally. This multiplier aspect of plant breeding across time and distance makes it cost-effective.-once in place, the biofortified crop system is highly sustainable. Nutritionally improved varieties will continue to be grown and consumed year after year, even if government attention and international funding for micronutrient issues fade.-biofortification provides a feasible means of reaching undernourished populations in relatively remote rural areas, delivering naturally fortified foods to people with limited access to commercially marketed fortified foods that are more readily available in urban areas.
