Alleviation of malnutrition has been known as one of the goal for achieving hunger-free world. It is
recognized as Sustainable Development Goals-2 (SDG-2) out of 17 identified goals. The importance of
nutritional and food security can be realized by the fact that out of 17 SDGs, 12 are related to nutrition
signifying its value in health, education, employment and female empowerment sectors. Micronutrient
deficiency remains hidden, especially in children of middle age and appears when it becomes severe. Around
155 million children of less than 5 years are stunted, whereas 52 million are wasted. Reducing anti-nutrients and promoting biofortified crops hold great promise for health and wellbeing of increasing human population and to combat micronutrient deficiency.
