Nutrient-Enriched Crop Varieties
Nutrient-enriched crop varieties are specifically developed to address global nutritional deficiencies, especially in areas where access to diverse foods is limited. These crops are genetically modified or selectively bred to increase the concentration of essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins, which are often lacking in conventional crop varieties. The goal is to reduce malnutrition, particularly in developing regions where dietary diversity is low. By enhancing the nutritional profile of staple crops like rice, wheat, and maize, farmers can ensure a healthier population without the need for external supplements. These crops not only contribute to better health but also offer a sustainable solution to food security by improving the nutritional content of widely consumed foods.
