biofortification

2 articles

Biofortification is the practice of enhancing the nutritional content of crops through conventional selective breeding or genetic engineering. It represents a key intersection of plant biology and public health, as researchers work to increase concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds directly within edible plant tissues. This approach leverages our understanding of plant metabolic pathways to address nutritional deficiencies at the source of food production.
