Biofortification is a plant breeding programme that aims to enhance the amount of vitamins, minerals, higher protein, and better fats in crops. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of food. It's necessary to avoid concealed hunger. The following are some examples of fortified crops: (i) New maize hybrid: has twice as much lysine and tryptophan as regular maize. (ii) Atlas 66 wheat, which has a high protein level. (iii) Rice has 5 times the average amount of iron. IARI Delhi has introduced a number of vitamin and mineral-rich crops. The public's health will greatly improve if such biofortified foods are consumed.
