生物强化是一种可行且具有成本效益的方式，可向可能难以获得多种饮食和其他微量营养素干预措施的人群提供微量营养素。自2003年以来，HarvestPlus及其合作伙伴已经证明，这种通过植物育种解决微量营养素缺乏的农业方法行之有效。发展中国家有2 000多万农户正在种植和消费生物强化作物。本综述总结了关键证据，并讨论了交付经验，以及农民和消费者的采用。鉴于证据的力量，现在应将注意力转移到以行动为导向的议程上，以扩大生物强化的规模，改善全球营养状况。要在2030年达到10亿人，有三个关键挑战：1）将生物强化特性纳入公共植物育种计划的主流; 2）建立消费者需求; 3）将生物强化纳入公共和私人政策，计划和投资。虽然许多构件已经到位，但需要机构领导，以继续推动实现这一雄心勃勃的目标。生物强化被证明可以显著改善人类健康和营养。生物强化作物现在有2000多万人种植和消费。将生物强化性状纳入植物育种计划的主流是一项挑战。为了达到规模，生物强化必须纳入公共和私人项目。到2030年，需要有机构领导才能使人口达到10亿。
Biofortification is a feasible and cost-effective means of delivering micronutrients to populations that may have limited access to diverse diets and other micronutrient interventions. Since 2003, HarvestPlus and its partners have demonstrated that this agriculture-based method of addressing micronutrient deficiency through plant breeding works. More than 20 million people in farm households in developing countries are now growing and consuming biofortified crops. This review summarizes key evidence and discusses delivery experiences, as well as farmer and consumer adoption. Given the strength of the evidence, attention should now shift to an action-oriented agenda for scaling biofortification to improve nutrition globally. To reach one billion people by 2030, there are three key challenges: 1) mainstreaming biofortified traits into public plant breeding programs; 2) building consumer demand; and 3) integrating biofortification into public and private policies, programs, and investments. While many building blocks are in place, institutional leadership is needed to continue to drive towards this ambitious goal. Biofortification is proven to measurably improve human health and nutrition. Biofortified crops are now grown and consumed by more than 20 million people. Mainstreaming biofortified traits into plant breeding programs is a challenge. To reach scale, biofortification must be integrated in public and private programs. Institutional leadership is needed to reach 1 billion people by 2030.
