Biofortification
Humans have been modifying crops for favorable traits since agriculture was invented thousands of years ago. But conventional breeding takes multiple generations and cannot be used to improve on only one specific trait. Genetic engineering and genome editing are precise technologies that can streamline the breeding process and introduce rice traits that cannot be significantly improved through conventional breeding.
Biofortification is the process of improving the nutritional quality of food crops. This can be achieved through agronomic practices, conventional breeding or biotechnology-based approaches like genetic engineering and genome editing.
Biofortification of staple crops such as rice is intended as a sustainable, cost-effective and food-based means of delivering target micronutrients to populations who do not have access to or cannot afford diverse diets and other existing interventions such as fortified foods and supplementation.
It is identified by the Copenhagen Consensus as one of the highest value-for-money interventions for micronutrient deficiency: gaining 17 USD worth of benefits for every 1 USD spent.
