Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly those involving zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), selenium (Se), and iodine (I), remain major constraints to human nutrition and food security. Crop biofortification offers a sustainable approach to increasing the concentration and bioavailability of these elements in staple foods. Still, i...

Agronomic biofortification is a key strategy to increase the micronutrient content of staple crops and ensure global food and nutritional security. This review aims to synthesize recent advances in the use of fertilization, microorganisms, and other technologies to enhance the concentration of micronutrients such as zi...
