| Description |
Over three billion people are currently malnourished due to nutritional deficiencies (eg, iron, zinc, vitamin A), resulting in learning disabilities among children, increased morbidity and mortality rates, lower worker productivity, and high healthcare costs. • Most staple food crops can be enriched (biofortified) with micronutrients using crop improvement tools. • Access to plant genetic resources is essential for crop improvement. • Globally, over 7.4 million accessions of economically important species are conserved in 1,750 genebanks (about 0.74 million in 11 CGIAR genebanks)....... |
