Rice biofortification is a sustainable approach to alleviate nutrient and micronutrient malnutrition. Research efforts have led to the development and release of more than 25 biofortified rice varieties in India with enhanced grain zinc (Zn) and protein along with high yield and good quality. The efficacy of biofortified rice varieties in animal models is encouraging. The adoption of these varieties by target consumers can translate the benefits of these varieties to address nation’s nutritional security.
