Biofortified rice breakthrough fights global iron deficiency, boosts nutrition worldwide!
Iron is crucial for our health, but many people lack enough of it in their diets. Scientists are studying how to increase the amount of iron in rice, a staple food for many. By understanding how iron is absorbed and stored in rice plants, they hope to make rice more nutritious. They have found that biofortification, a method to boost iron levels in crops, can make a difference. Different techniques have been tested to increase iron in rice, with promising results. This research could lead to improved ways of making rice more nutritious in the future.
