About this item

Definition : Biofortified rice is rice that has been genetically modified or selectively bred to increase its nutrient content, particularly vitamins and minerals.

Nutritional Enhancement : Common enhancements include increased levels of iron, zinc, and vitamin A, which are essential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

Health Benefits : Consumption of biofortified rice can help reduce the incidence of malnutrition-related diseases such as anemia (iron deficiency) and blindness (vitamin A deficiency).

Target Populations : It is especially beneficial in developing countries where rice is a staple food and nutrient deficiencies are prevalent.

Types : Notable examples include Golden Rice (rich in beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A) and iron-enriched rice.

Development : Biofortified rice is developed through conventional breeding techniques or genetic engineering.

Regulatory Approvals : It requires approval from food safety authorities before it can be distributed and consumed.

Sustainability : Biofortification is a sustainable agricultural approach as it aims to improve the nutritional quality of crops inherently, without the need for additional external inputs like supplements or fortified foods.

Country of Origin : India
