Bio-fortification of Horticulture Crops for Improving Nutrition

Billions of people worldwide suffer from micronutrient deficiencies, sometimes known as "hidden hunger," especially in underdeveloped nations. Horticultural crop biofortification is an economical and environmentally friendly way to improve the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables. In contrast to traditional fortification and supplementation, bio-fortification combines biotechnology, agronomic techniques, and breeding to increase the natural nutritional content of crops. The significance, applications, benefits, and difficulties of bio-fortification in horticulture are examined in this article, with a focus on how it might enhance human health and nutritional security.
