Background
Yellow fleshed potatoes biofortified with iron have been developed through conventional breeding but the bioavailability of the iron is unknown.

Fortification of staple foods is among the most cost-effective public health interventions.

High kernel-zinc maize varieties are available to consumers in several countries in Latin America to contribute to increase the zinc intake of their populations.

Biofortified rice with high Zn concentration could reduce Zn deficiency in South Asia. This population frequently parboils rice.

We examine the role of gender dimensions of intrahousehold bargaining power and decision making in the adoption and diffusion of orange sweet potato (OSP), a biofortified crop being promoted to increase dietary intakes of vitamin A in Uganda.

HarvestPlus is the global leader in biofortification and has been leading biofortification efforts in India for nearly a decade.

Micronutrient deficiencies, also known as hidden hunger, affect two billion people worldwide, curtailing their ability to lead healthy, productive lives.

Biofortification is a feasible and cost-effective means of delivering micronutrients to populations that may have limited access to diverse diets and other micronutrient interventions.

Orange-fleshed sweetpotato is rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. In SSA, sweetpotato lacks beta-carotene.
