Abstract :

Hidden hunger is a major and alarming risk for the modern world, with millions of people suffering from malnutrition. The world is seeking a solution by developing crops with rich nutritional profiles through a process called biofortification, and rice, as the main crop of interest, is a staple for billions and is low in many micronutrients, like zinc, iron, vitamins such as vitamin A, and more. Biofortification can be achieved through improved agronomic practices, conventional plant breeding, or biotechnology. Efforts to fortify rice are progressing positively, as many genetically modified varieties (like GR), hybridized varieties, and conventionally crossed varieties are being developed, with ongoing work to create even better options.
