A Sustainable Approach to Combat Micronutrient Deficiencies and Ensure Global Food Security through Biofortification

This review examines biofortification as a sustainable strategy to address micronutrient deficiencies in staple crops. By enhancing nutrient content in widely-consumed crops, biofortification improves public health without requiring major dietary changes. This approach is highlighted as effective in reducing deficiencies like iron, zinc, and vitamin A, particularly among vulnerable populations in developing regions. Biofortified crops contribute to food security and economic empowerment by enabling local production, though consumer acceptance and policy support are critical for its success.
