Although ending world hunger remains the most important goal,
increasingly the focus is on simultaneously improving world
malnutrition. Paradoxically, nutritionally important trace elements
essential for human health are both deficient and over-abundant in
soils in many regions of the world. Using a multidisciplinary
approach, Development and Uses of Biofortified Agricultural
Products provides new strategies and techniques for the production
of biofortified agricultural products from different soils.
Seventeen contributors from twelve countries explore the effects of
environmental and biological factors on the accumulation and
speciation of nutritionally important trace elements in
agricultural products. They explore novel strategies regarding the
functional foods and animal feed and other forms of biofortified
agricultural products. The text addresses alternative biosources
and bioproducts produced from phytoremediation processes as well as
the bioavailability and the effects of bioproduct compounds. The
editors comprehensively synthesize the ever-mounting body of new
information on biofortification, including theoretical, practical,
and practiced agricultural-based strategies in micronutrient
management and improvement in different types of soils. The book
provides a unique and useful platform to further the understanding
of nutritionally important trace elements in the context of
biogeochemistry, food chain transfer, and health-related issues.
