Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) biofortification with provitamin A carotenoids is an ongoing process that aims to alleviate vitamin A deficiency.

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.

The scientific body of evidence supporting biofortification spans over two decades.

Most farmers source sweetpotato vines from neighboring farmers or from cuttings taken from their own plots during the previous season.

This evaluative review is one of a series of end-of-program studies being carried out by the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) to document lessons from its achievements to inform future research and develo
