BIOFORTIFICATION FOR BETTER NUTRITION• Micronutrient malnutrition impacts
2 billion people every year, resulting in stunted growth, low resistance to disease, chronic illness and reduced cognitive development
• Biofortification of crops such as sorghum and millet, allow people to grow fortified foods for themselvesAFRICAN BIOFORTIFIED
