From India to Saudi Arabia and Sudan: Zinc Sorghum Scales Up for Global Impact

HarvestPlus’ breakthrough collaborative work with the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in India on zinc-enriched sorghum is now allowing the adoption of zinc enriched sorghum in Saudi Arabia and Sudan—two countries confronting high levels of micronutrient deficiency and food system stress. The expansion marks a critical step in scaling biofortified crops from a national success to a global solution for micronutrient deficiency and food insecurity.
