Addressing Hidden Hunger Through Biofortification

Hidden hunger, a micronutrient deficiency, is a global health crisis affecting more than 3 billion people, primarily in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Biofortification provides a sustainable and cost-effective solution by enhancing the nutrient content of staple crops during growth, rather than adding nutrients after harvest. As climate change reshapes global agriculture and fertile land becomes scarcer, the need for resilient, nutrient-rich crops grows increasingly urgent.
