Описание: In this 20th year of biofortification, over 100 million people in farming families are eating nutrient-enriched foods. Millions more benefit from biofortified foods bought from markets.

For 20 years, breeders at CGIAR centers and National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) have achieved yield and nutritional gains in biofortified varieties. Hundreds of partners across the world have helped bring these nutrient-enriched seeds to farmers. As part of IFPRI, HarvestPlus is working from farm to fork to transform food systems to improve nutrition and resilience, boost livelihoods, and empower women.
