Meaning of Biofortification || Biofortification in Vegetable Crops || Nutritional enrichment

Biofortification is the process by which the nutrient density of food crops is increased through conventional plant breeding, and/or improved agronomic practices and/or modern biotechnology without sacrificing any characteristic that is preferred by consumers or most importantly to farmers. It is recognized as a nutrition-sensitive-agriculture intervention that can reduce vitamin and mineral deficiency. Iron-biofortification of beans, cowpea and pearl millet, zinc-biofortification of maize, rice, and wheat, and pro-vitamin A carotenoid-biofortification of cassava, maize, rice, and sweet potato are currently underway and at different stages of development. The biological mechanism for biofortified crops improving nutritional status is simple: biofortified crops are more nutrient-dense than non-biofortified varieties. Therefore, assuming similar micronutrient bioavailability (5) and retention (6) after cooking or processing and storage, persons will consume (7) and absorb (8) more micronutrients from eating biofortified crops than from the same amount of non-biofortified crops. In populations with a diet limited in these micronutrients, the consumption of biofortified staple crops can improve micronutrient intake.#dailylearning #SmartLearning #QuickLearn #DailyLearning #LearnEveryday #LearningMadeEasy #StudyShorts #EduShorts #LearnWithMe #LearningIsFun #BrainTeasers #OnlineClasses #OnlineLearning #ytshorts #youtubeshorts #greenvegetable #greenfruits #fact #hindifact #randomfacts #amazingfacts #facts
