HarvestPlus and its partners fight hidden hunger worldwide by scaling staple food crops that are bred to be rich in essential vitamins and minerals. As a result of these efforts, over 100 million people in farming households are eating biofortified crops.
These biofortified, climate-smart crops sustainably improve the health and livelihoods of smallholder farming households and low-income consumers. Working across CGIAR as part of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), we are helping to make food systems more nutritious and resilient to shocks.
Twenty Years of Enriching Diets with Biofortification
Over 100 million people in farming families are now eating biofortified foods. Biofortification is one of the many important solutions being implemented by global research partners working together across CGIAR to ensure a food-secure future for all.
