Global Iron and Zinc Biofortification for Hidden Hunger: Current Deployment, Evidence, Scaling Constraints and Priorities

Bidisha Mondal, Shubhechha Halder, Gourav Ghosh, Shreeja Pal, Ratul Sen, Aranish Pariari, Arnab Ghosh, Sovandev Mandal, Tanuj Bhowmick & Kaushik Mandal · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2026

Iron and zinc deficiencies remain major components of hidden hunger, particularly where diets are dominated by staple foods and access to diverse, nutrient-dense foods is constrained. Biofortification seeks to increase the micronutrient value of crops during plant growth through...
