摘要

"Hidden Hunger," a prevalent global issue, underscores the imperative of addressing subtle micronutrient deficiencies worldwide. With staple crops often lacking essential nutrients, "Biofortification" emerges as a promising solution. This review explores the realm of biofortified crops, showcasing their potential beyond nutrient enhancement alone. From Golden Rice fortified with pro-vitamin A in Southeast Asia to robust orange-fleshed sweet potatoes thriving in Sub-Saharan Africa, biofortification offers a beacon of hope. Employing a blend of strategies including traditional breeding methods, advanced genetic engineering tools like CRISPR-Cas9, and microbial-assisted nutrient enhancement, biofortification precisely targets global micronutrient deficiencies. Despite promising strides, challenges such as reliability, societal concerns, regulatory frameworks, and accessibility barriers persist which have been discussed in detail. Thus, the present comprehensive review serves as a vital resource for researchers in agricultural and nutritional sciences, offering insights into future directions and challenges associated with revolutionizing global nutrition through biofortification.
