HarvestPlus, a division of the International Food Policy Research Institute, has developed a conventional plant breeding process that results in increased levels of minerals and vitamins in seeds and grain.

HarvestPlus leads and coordinates a global effort within the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) network to improve nutrition by promoting biofortified, nutrient enriched staple crops.

This PAS will focus on crops enriched with zinc through biofortification (breeding or agronomic) technology. Billions of people around the world are at risk of zinc deficiency.
