Rice is an essential food source for numerous people worldwide, particularly in regions where malnutrition is prevalent. However, traditional rice varieties often lack vital micronutrients, leading to widespread malnutrition and associated health problems. To address this issue, the process of biofortification, which involves enhancing the nutritional content of crops, presents a promising solution. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the impact of rice biofortification on nutritional security, focusing on improvements in micronutrients, protein, and other nutritional traits. Drawing from existing literature and research findings, the book explores the strategies and approaches employed in rice biofortification, the resulting effects on micronutrient consumption and health outcomes, and the contributions of biofortified rice to overall nutritional security. Furthermore, the book discusses challenges and considerations in the adoption and scaling up of biofortified rice production, as well as potential future directions for research and implementation in India.
