Background
Zinc-biofortified potatoes have considerable potential to reduce zinc deficiency because of their low levels of phytate, an inhibitor of zinc absorption, and their high consumption, especially in the Andean region of Peru.

Increased iron status during a feeding trial of iron-biofortified beans increases physical work efficiency in Rwandan women
Background
Iron-biofortified staple foods can improve iron status and resolve iron deficiency. However, whether improved iron status from iron biofortification can improve physical performance remains unclear.
Objective
Background: Evidence suggests that iron deficiency (ID) affects cognitive performance, as measured in behavior.
Wheat biofortified with zinc fertilizer provides a similar portion of daily zinc requirements as post-harvest fortified flour.
Food-assisted maternal and child health and nutrition (FA-MCHN) programs may foster child growth during the first 1000 d (pregnancy and the first 2 y of a child's life), but evidence is scant.
Consuming iron-biofortified pearl millet improves iron status and some measures of cognitive performance in Indian adolescents.
