Due to poor dietary intake of micronutrients, particularly zinc and iron, micronutrient malnutrition is thought to affect more than half of the country's population and is one of the most serious global challenges facing humanity. Biofortification, or increasing the bioavailability of vital components in plant edible portions through agronomic intervention or genetic selection, could be beneficial. The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research has been investigating the genetic potential of boosting bioavailable zinc and iron in staple food crop plants such as rice, wheat, maize, pearl millet, and others. According to efficacy and effectiveness research, as well as recent distribution successes, biofortification is a potential platform for counteracting secret hunger. This study focus on biofortification methods and a few biofortified crops.

Biofortification, approaches, biofortified crops, advantages, limitations.
