description: Over three billion people are currently malnourished due to nutritional  deficiencies (eg, iron, zinc, vitamin A), resulting in learning disabilities  among children, increased morbidity and mortality rates, lower  worker productivity, and high healthcare costs.  • Most staple food crops can be enriched (biofortified) with  micronutrients using crop improvement tools.  • Access to plant genetic resources is essential for crop improvement.  • Globally, over 7.4 million accessions of economically important  species are conserved in 1,750 genebanks (about 0.74 million in 11  CGIAR genebanks).......
