Producing more with less: Strategies and novel technologies for plant-based food biofortification

► The main nutrients targeted for biofortification are Fe, Zn, Ca, Se, and vitamins. ► Rice is the best example of a successful biofortified plant food. ► For increased biofortification, fertilization can be combined with breeding. ► Ionomics tools can identify genotypes with higher micronutrient levels. ► 'Omics' techniques can assess the efficacy and safety of the biofortified plant-food.
