Abstract

Rice is a crucial staple food for over half of the world’s population, yet it often lacks essential micronutrients such as vitamin A, iron, and zinc. This article explores biofortification techniques aimed at improving the nutritional quality of rice to address these micronutrient deficiencies. We review advancements in genetic engineering, conventional breeding, and agronomic practices used to enhance the micronutrient content of rice. The effectiveness of these techniques and their potential impact on public health are discussed. By integrating these strategies, biofortified rice holds promise for significantly improving nutritional outcomes and addressing global health challenges related to micronutrient deficiencies.
