Biofortification is the process of using genetic engineering to make crops more nutritious. It can be done by making them resistant to insects and/or disease.

Biofortification is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to increase crop production, which can help to reduce food insecurity around the world.

The term “biological fortification” is used to describe the process of increasing the level of micronutrients in staple food crops by breeding them to contain higher levels of micronutrients, often through conventional plant breeding methods.
