Journal ArticleDOI
Progress update: crop development of biofortified staple food crops under HarvestPlus
TL;DR: Crop development progress and varietal release of primary (major) and secondary (regionally important) staple crops, with a focus on progress in Africa are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Availability, production, and consumption of crops biofortified by plant breeding: current evidence and future potential
Amy Saltzman,Ekin Birol,Adewale Oparinde,Meike S. Andersson,Dorene Asare-Marfo,Michael T. Diressie,Carolina González,Keith Lividini,Mourad Moursi,Manfred Zeller +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence from nutrition research shows that biofortified varieties provide considerable amounts of bioavailable micronutrients, and consumption of these varieties can improvemicronutrient deficiency status among target populations, even in the absence of nutritional information.
Book
Gene Flow between Crops and Their Wild Relatives
TL;DR: This comprehensive volume provides the scientific basis for assessing the likelihood of gene flow between twenty important crops and their wild relatives, including barley, corn, cotton, cowpea, wheat, pearl millet, and rice.
Book ChapterDOI
Nutritionally Enhanced Staple Food Crops
Sangam L. Dwivedi,Kanwar L. Sahrawat,Kedar N. Rai,Matthew W. Blair,Meike S. Andersson,Wolfgang H. Pfeiffer +5 more
TL;DR: This review synthesizes the progress toward developing seed micronutrient-dense cereals and legumes cultivars by exploiting natural genetic variation using conventional breeding and/or transgenic technology, and discusses the associated issues to strengthen crop biofortification research and development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water, food and livelihoods in river basins
TL;DR: The linkage between water, agriculture and livelihoods is more complex than "water scarcity increases poverty" as mentioned in this paper, and the response of both agricultural and non-agricultural systems to increased pressure will affect livelihoods.
