The need for mineral biofortification to eradicate or alleviate malnutrition through sustainable agriculture is also discussed. Biofortification of edible plants is considered the most appropriate approach to alleviate nutritional problems and nutrient deficiencies. In contrast, biofortification focuses on improving the nutritional content of the region's current agricultural biodiversity while preserving its habits and customs. Emphasis is also placed on recent advances and developments in omics, particularly metabolomics and related techniques, to unravel the potential alterations in plants caused by biofortification. The book brings together eminent scientists to present the latest developments in the field. This timely publication addresses practical scenarios of bio-fortified food production and climate change. The book focuses on the methods, techniques, and environmental changes used to enhance and improve agricultural products. This book is one of the first to provide information on the use of modern biotechnologies to modify crops for health benefits. It also examines the mechanisms of the plant responses to genetically induced biofortification, the production and responses of fortified plants under climate change, and their effects on food security. The book will be useful for students and researchers, especially crop scientists, environmental scientists, biotechnologists, botanists, and agronomists, to understand the techniques and mechanisms of biofortification, and responses of biofortified plants under climate change. 606 $aBotany 606 $aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aEnvironmental Studies 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aPlant Science. 615 24$aEnvironmental Studies. 676 $a631.52 700 $aHasanuzzaman$b Mirza$01299458 701 $aTahir$b Muhammad Suleman$01358242 701 $aTanveer$b Mohsin$01437943 701 $aShah$b Adnan Noor$01437944 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760282203321 996 $aMineral Biofortification in Crop Plants for Ensuring Food Security$93598764 997 $aUNINA
