Background Child undernutrition is persistently high in the central Andes of Peru, and numerous smallholder households fail to meet their basic needs of energy, iron and zinc. Food-based approaches assume household-level nutrition can be improved following agricultural interventions. This study ...
La biofortificación es considerada, en muchos países del mundo y de América Latina, como una estrategia complementaria para la prevención y control de las deficiencias de micronutrientes. Cultivos biofortificados como el arroz y el maíz tienen contenidos más altos de zinc (Zn) y de proteína de al...
A study was design to evalutate the effect of Pithomyces chartarum fungus on steers grazing Brachiaria decumbens, and the effect of zinc applied to the soil and added to the mineral supplement to aid in the prevention of photosensitivity. Twenty steers crossbred zebu, 10-12 months old were used f...
Iron and zinc deficiency are widespread problems in developing countries. Scientists at CIP have bred iron- and zinc-biofortified potatoes to contribute to efforts to reduce malnutrition in the Andes and other regions where potato is a staple crop. Bioavailability studies will determine how much ...
Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) concentrations in tuberous roots of twenty-five cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes were determined over 2 years (2004/2005 and 2005/2006) at five locations representing distinct agroecologies in Nigeria. The objectives were to study the magnitude and nature of ge...
Over the past 15 years, biofortification, the process of breeding nutrients into food crops, has gained ample recognition as a cost-effective, complementary, feasible means of delivering micronutrients to populations that may have limited access to diverse diets, supplements, or commercially fort...
