CRC Press - Development and Uses of Biofortified Agricultural Products

Addressing the global challenge of malnutrition requires innovative approaches to food production. This book by CRC Press examines the complex relationship between soil composition and human health. While ending world hunger is a primary goal, managing the deficiency or over-abundance of essential trace elements in soil is a significant hurdle for modern agriculture. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this text provides new strategies and techniques for producing biofortified agricultural products across various soil types. It features insights from seventeen contributors representing twelve different countries. The content explores how environmental and biologic factors affect the development of these products, offering a comprehensive resource for professionals in soil science and horticulture. This work is an essential resource for those looking to understand the production of nutrient-dense crops to combat malnutrition on a global scale.
