BIO FORTIFICATIONOF FOOD GRAINS :
Now technology to fortify the food grains itself . It starts from the seed on . It is through selective breeding or genetic Engineering.In India it is done through selective breeding , cross pollination through several generations.
Food fortification had to be started after Green Revolution of the 1960’s ; as there was famine and food grain shortage in the earlier part of the 20th Century . This was slowly and steadily thwarted by the Government in 60’s by the Green revolution using Chemical fertilizers and pesticides. That was done on a war footing basis and met with success.
Effects :
* Citizens had sufficient food grains to give Calories .
* Besides food and Calories people also needed Micronutrients like Vitamins and minerals . That was lacking in the mass produced grains.
* This resulted in severe deficiencies among the public, a mater of concern. This was not restricted to the under privileged alone and affordability was not the criteria ; but the affordable sections with unhealthy life style also suffered - Naaznin husein , Indian Dietetic Association.
* Further we don’t consume whole grains and Millets . The processed ones ,polished ones takes away the germ and the essential nutrients.
-- Iron deficiency in India : 80% Pregnant women , 52 % non pregnant , 74 % children between 6 and 36 months.
-- Zinc deficiency 52 % under 5 years deficient. – Dr Govindaraj, Principal Investigator, Bio fortification. ICRISAT. Like this case at vitamin A and B vitamins will go on.
Bio fortification is the step taken after a decade of research in India. It can provide 100% R.D.A. [Required daily allowance .] of the micro nutrients particularly iron followed by others . There will be no more need to fortify the Foods. Though it is not available today in the next 5 years it should be available says Dr. Govindaraj. more

Industrial revolution has changed the way we grow our foods and consume. Ask any urban kids of today to eat Chana or Jau Sattu they will refuse, but cornflakes and Oat meal is OK!! Eating white polished rice is OK but eating parboiled rice is not!! we need to change our food habits to ensure proper nutrient uptake by body! more
