Agronomic biofortification of wheat fights zinc deficiency, boosts health worldwide
Wheat is a common food but lacks enough zinc, causing health issues. Scientists studied ways to increase zinc in wheat to help people. They found that using soil microorganisms can boost zinc levels in wheat, improving crop yield and quality. This method, called agronomic biofortification, can enhance human nutrition and health by providing more zinc in our diets. However, challenges like climate change may affect its effectiveness. Overall, increasing zinc in wheat through agronomic biofortification can benefit both crops and people's health.
