Biofortification can be defined as a process to increase the bioavailability and the concentration of nutrients in crops through both conventional plant breeding (White and Broadley, 2005) and recombinant DNA technology (genetic engineering) (Zimmermann and Hurrell, 2002).

I think that Biofortification is the process by which the nutrient density of food crops is increased through conventional plant breeding, and/or improved agronomic practices and/or modern biotechnology...
“Biofortification” or “biological fortification” refers to nutritionally enhanced food crops with increased bioavailability to the human population that are developed and grown using modern biotechnology techniques, conventional plant breeding, and agronomic practices.
Biofortification is the idea of breeding crops to increase their nutritional value. This can be done either through conventional selective breeding, or through genetic engineering. Biofortification differs from ordinary fortification because it focuses on making plant foods more nutritious as the plants are growing, rather than having nutrients added to the foods when they are being processed.
Biofortification is a feasible and cost-effective means of delivering micronutrients to populations that may have limited access to diverse diets and other micronutrient interventions. It is a process of increasing the density of vitamins and minerals in a crop through plant breeding, transgenic techniques, or agronomic practices. Biofortified staple crops, when consumed regularly, will generate measureable improvements in human health and nutrition. Article Improving nutrition through biofortification: A review of ev...
Biofortification is a process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content. This method is employed to improve public health.
Biofortification can be defined as a process to increase the bioavailability and the concentration of nutrients in crops through both conventional plant breeding (White and Broadley, 2005) and recombinant DNA technology (genetic engineering) (Zimmermann and Hurrell, )
Biofortification is in vogue now. Several projects are aimed to provide the staple food crops with trace elements, vitamins, amino acids, which are dietary essentials, but are found in slightly lesser quantities in the regular food we consume.
