Summary
This 2022 review examines biofortification as a strategy to address global micronutrient deficiencies and improve public health outcomes. The authors survey biofortification approaches across food systems, as suggested by publication in Chemosphere, likely focusing on agronomic and chemical aspects of nutrient enhancement. The paper positions biofortification within broader efforts to achieve sustainable improvements in nutritional status.
UK applicability
Biofortification is less relevant to UK food policy than to low-income countries where micronutrient deficiency remains prevalent. However, findings may inform UK dietary adequacy discussions and fortification policy for vulnerable populations.
Key measures
Micronutrient adequacy; biofortification intervention effectiveness; global health impact
Outcomes reported
The paper reviews biofortification approaches as long-term interventions to reduce micronutrient malnutrition globally. As suggested by the title, it examines biofortification as a sustainable health solution across populations.
