• Biofortification: A New Tool to Reduce Micronutrient Malnutrition (2011, background): “Crop improvement includes all breeding activities falling within a product concept that produces varieties containing those traits that (in target populations, in target areas) improve nutrient content while giving high agronomic performance and preferred consumer quality [12, 13].”
