This FAO report highlights the collaboration between FAO and HarvestPlus in promoting biofortified crops to combat micronutrient deficiencies. It details the availability, adoption, and health benefits of biofortified crops such as high-iron beans and vitamin A maize. The study underscores biofortification’s cost-effectiveness and its potential to complement traditional fortification strategies. Case studies from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and other countries illustrate successful biofortification initiatives.
