  Future: The Biofortification Market Poised for Growth (Reaching USD 0.17 Billion by 2032) Malnutrition remains a significant global challenge, with deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals impacting billions of people, particularly in developing countries. Biofortification, a powerful approach to improving the nutritional quality of staple crops, is emerging as a key weapon in the fight against hidden hunger.  Biofortification: Engineering Crops for Enhanced Nutrition Biofortification market  is the process of breeding or genetically modifying crops to increase their content of essential micronutrients like vitamin A, iron, zinc, and iodine. These essential nutrients are often lacking in diets, particularly those reliant on staple crops like rice, wheat, and cassava. Biofortified crops offer a sustainable and cost-effective solution to address micronutrient deficiencies, leading to improved public health outcomes. How Does Biofortification Work? There are two main approaches
