Biofortified Crops
Biofortification is the process of breeding crops for increased nutritional content or increased nutrient density. In economic crisis, poor people tend to cut down on purchases of expensive non-staples, such as meat, fruit and vegetables (Bouis 2011). This makes staples like wheat, rice, maize, beans, and cassava good targets of biofortification programs, because we know the poorest and most malnourished will be eating these foods even in hard times.
