(N/A) Biofortification is the process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and healthy fats.
This method is employed to improve public health by addressing hidden hunger.
Breeding of crops with improved nutritional quality is undertaken to enhance the content of proteins, oil, vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients in crops.
It is also used to upgrade the quality of oil and proteins.
An example of this is a wheat variety known as Atlas $66$, which has a high protein content compared to existing wheat varieties.
In addition, there are several other improved varieties of crop plants such as rice, carrots, and spinach that have higher nutritional value and more nutrients than the existing varieties.
