Biofortification - How Can We Make Foods More Nutritious?

Yara's Crop Nutrition podcast

One in three people in the world suffer from a tragic condition called hidden hunger. Hidden hunger is when a person might appear healthy but their diets are low in nutrients and vitamins making them vulnerable to illness and disease including blindness, reduced cognative development, stunted growth, etc.

Agriculture and the food channel can help solve this problem by using seed varieties that are more nutritious and using a balanced nutritional plan when growing these crops.

Dr. Rob Mikkelsen joins us to discuss what biofortification, why it is important and how our industry can improve the diets of the worlds population.
