Low levels of minerals in #wheat is a key cause of micronutrient #malnutrition. Genetic #biofortification alone may not achieve target levels to solve hidden #hunger, but combining #fertilizer approaches with #plantbreeding maximizes accumulation of #micronutrients in crops: https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2024.1455901

Selenium #fertilisation in Ehtiopia is a cost-effective strategy compared with gross per capita income. Agronomic #biofortification with zinc could be developed to include multiple #micronutrients to minimise the global burden of micronutrient deficiencies: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114524001235 #nutrition

Agronomic #biofortification offers options to produce #cereals & #legumes rich in #micronutrients in Sub-Saharan #Africa. Bottlenecks to its #adoption are low availability of micronutrient-based #fertilizers, awareness & financial capacity: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jafr.2024.101391 #nutrition

Is this a #corn-y post?
🌽🌽You bet!🌽🌽#Micronutrient deficiencies affect more than 2B people. This commentary discusses the potential of #biofortification in crops like corn to combat #iron deficiency.

#Zinc determines more critical life functions than other #micronutrients. Enhancing dietary zinc content & #bioavailability thru zinc #biofortification is an inclusive #nutrition solution helping vulnerable individuals & populations with inadequate diets: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advnut.2024.100181
