From harvest to health: Challenges for developing biofortified staple foods and determining their impact on micronutrient status
Background. The use of conventional breeding techniques and biotechnology to improve the micronutrient quality of staple crops is a new strategy to address micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. This strategy, referred to as “biofortification,” is being developed and implemented through...
