This review discusses biofortification as a sustainable approach to address global micronutrient deficiencies. It highlights techniques, such as crop breeding and genetic engineering, that enhance nutrient density in staple crops. Biofortification shows promise in improving health outcomes in nutrient-deficient populations, particularly in low-income regions. Key challenges include regulatory barriers and cultural acceptance, which need to be addressed for broader adoption.
