Bio-fortification and Its Impact on Global Health

Biofortification, the process of increasing density vitamins and minerals in a crop through plant breeding, agronomic practices, or biotechnology, is being increasingly recognized as cost-effective sustainable strategy to address micronutrient malnutrition globally. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis role biofortification improving global health, with particular focus on its impact deficiencies, public socioeconomic aspects, along challenges opportunities it presents. The timely relevant, given persistent challenge growing interest nutrition strategies. It addresses gaps current understanding by synthesizing latest research various aspects providing insights into potential challenges. Biofortification encompasses methods, from traditional breeding modern biotechnological approaches. Numerous successful examples biofortified crops, like Golden Rice High Iron Beans, underscore potential. These crops have been demonstrated contribute significantly reducing deficiencies essential micronutrients iron, vitamin A, zinc, thereby positively influencing health outcomes. also explores wider biofortification, including economic benefits influence food security farmer livelihoods. Acceptance farmers consumers sociocultural context are highlighted crucial factors for implementation initiatives. faces several challenges, ranging technical issues process, genetic limitations bioavailability concerns, political regulatory hurdles. Additionally, environmental sustainability critical considerations. Despite these exist future development, such expanding scope harnessing advanced techniques, integrating other
