Author
Wambugu, Florence M
Abstract
Biotechnology offers significant potential for enhancing nutritional quality of foods and for improving agronomic characteristics to increase food availability. Coupled with adequate public-health guidance on scientifically sound dietary patterns and other strategies, real progress can be made toward eliminating malnutrition. The challenge to make this potential a reality is large, but the benefit is even greater in terms of improving the lives of millions worldwide
