Abstract
Biofortification of staple crops is seen as Trojan horse for the acceptance of genetically engineered food and further consolidation of corporate control on food and agriculture. Public-led biofortification programmes using conventional breeding provide an entry point for corporate interests in staple food crops in the South. The focus on single-crop systems that narrowed down the dietary base is the same approach being adopted to bring back micronutrients in staple food crops.
