  2. #Micronutrient deficiencies remain prevalent, harming 2+ billion people. Crop #biofortification is a sustainable solution to reduce the burden of this hidden #hunger. A number of biofortified crops have already been developed: doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-343 #plantbreeding #nutrition

  3. Prices of #micronutrient-dense foods grow faster than #prices of starchy staple food (FAO database). With this trend, governments must adopt policies to enhance #nutrition-sensitive interventions (e.g. #biofortification) to eradicate hidden hunger: nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bs #hunger

  4. 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.
