Researchers rethink zinc biofortification in wheat
Original: Right seed, right soil, right management: Rethinking zinc biofortification in wheat
Scientists at CIMMYT argue that successful zinc biofortification of wheat depends on more than breeding fortified seed. In a new piece, they say outcomes hinge on matching the right varieties to local soil conditions and pairing them with proper crop management, including fertilizer practices. The message is aimed at researchers, policymakers and farmers working to reduce zinc deficiency through staple crops.
Why now: Zinc deficiency remains a major global nutrition problem, and new guidance on how to make biofortified wheat actually deliver is timely for the agriculture and nutrition communities.
