Revolutionizing Zinc Enrichment in Rice to Combat Micronutrient Malnutrition
Zinc is important for our bodies, but many people don't get enough of it. Traditional ways of getting more zinc, like supplements and changing our diets, have limitations. Scientists are now looking at a new method called biofortification, which involves increasing zinc levels in rice. By using better farming techniques and adding more zinc to the soil, we can make rice more nutritious. This could help improve people's zinc levels and overall health. In the future, more research is needed to set standards and create products that can help make our food richer in important nutrients like zinc.
