Micronutrient malnutrition affects many people worldwide, especially young girls, women, and children, leading to health problems. To combat this issue, scientists have been working on a method called biofortification, which involves increasing essential nutrients in staple crops. By using special fertilizers and genetic techniques, crops like maize, rice, and beans have been successfully enriched with important nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin A in countries with high malnutrition rates. This approach has shown promising results in improving the nutritional quality of food and helping to alleviate malnutrition in developing countries.
