What if your everyday rice or wheat could do more for your health--just by the way it’s grown? Today, we are exploring a quiet food revolution: biofortification.
At first, the term might sound technical. But the idea is simple—growing crops that are naturally richer in nutrients like iron, zinc, or vitamin A. Think rice with more iron or wheat with extra zinc—not added during processing, but grown that way from the start.
This approach is proving to be a game-changer, especially in communities where diets are basic and nutritional diversity is limited. And joining us to break it down is Binu Cherian, Senior Country Manager at HarvestPlus India, an organisation working to make nutritious food more accessible through smart agriculture.
We explore:
• What exactly biofortification is—and why it matters
• How these enhanced crops support immunity, energy, and growth
• Why nutrient gaps persist even in well-fed populations
• Real-life examples of how biofortified foods are making an impact
• And what a biofortified future could mean for India’s health landscape
If you care about food, farming, or the future of nutrition—this episode is for you.
