Abstract

Nutritional deficiency which increasing tremendously during the last two decades creates micronutrients malnutrition is a very common problem especially for women and children in the developing countries. The hidden hunger which is due to malnutrition affecting one in the three people globally. Several efforts like dietary diversification, food supplementation and food fortification have been taken to overcome micronutrients malnutrition of which biofortification is a very promising sustainable approach to reduce the micronutrients malnutrition. The bioavailability of micronutrients provides a very promising effect under bio-fortification. In bio-fortification, apart from the agronomic approach, and plant breeding approach, genetic engineering technology is very useful to increase the micronutrients in the food crops. The bio-fortified crop varieties provide the adequate nutrients to the target people in the developing countries. The bio-fortification which is an innovative crop-based strategy brings big challenge towards nutritional security.
