Micronutrient deficiency is a form of malnutrition responsible for different metabolic diseases, widely shared among developing low-and middle-income African countries. While deficiencies calcium, iron, vitamin A, zinc, and selenium have been counteracted mainly by implementing mandatory food fortification programs, little attention was given so far on strategies to decrease inadequate intake water-soluble B-group vitamins. In this review, we summarize the physiological role vitamins, discuss approaches commonly used tackle their in Africa, namely (i) dietary diversification, (ii) supplementation, (iii) fortification, with main focus being here microbial-based biofortification food. We report increasing evidence plant-based fermented foods as important sources these vitamins how may enhance content bioavailability during fermentation, especially seen folate (vitamin B9), riboflavin B2), cobalamin B12).

Sustainable food systems have become a central focus in efforts to combat micronutrient malnutrition, with increasing recognition of their role achieving the Development Goals (SDGs). This article presents bibliometric analysis research from 2015 2023, examining trends and thematic clusters within SDGs framework. Using data Web Science science mapping techniques, study identifies key that highlight evolving priorities. Four major emerge: application machine learning, exploration macroalgae for potential, use CRISPR/Cas9 technology biofortification, concerns about heavy metal contamination food. Research show strong on bone health, particularly osteoporosis vitamin D, which align SDG 3 (Good Health Well-being). Yet deficiencies, such as those iron, zinc, A, remains underrepresented despite high global impact especially low- middle-income countries, raising whether priorities sufficiently address SDGs. highlights need more targeted 2 (Zero Hunger) 12 (Responsible Consumption Production).

Trichoderma afroharzianum , a ubiquitous soil-borne fungus found on plant roots and decaying residues, displays competitive traits mycoparasitic behavior against diverse microorganisms. Selected strains of this are known in agriculture for their beneficial effects growth as bio-fungicides. However, recent findings have pinpointed the causal agent behind maize ear rot disease Europe since 2018, notably impacting cobs Germany, France, Italy. This study aims to evaluate severity fresh matter content specific quality parameters under semi-field conditions. Two distinct varieties were artificially inoculated with pathogenic isolate at flowering stage using needle pin or silk channel methods. Disease was assessed visually time harvest based percentage infected kernels according EPPO Guidelines (PP 1/285). Fresh such alpha-amylase activity, C/N ratio, water, sugar analyzed. Results showed that inoculation led higher (60%) compared (39%). Cob weight decreased significantly highest level by up 50% control plants. In both varieties, activity increased severity, resulting starch degradation glucose release. The germination rate severely affected infection, only 22% grains germinating, seedlings shortened deformed growth. is first report infection its effect after artificial field results address an important knowledge gap provide valuable insights into pathway impact quality.

Abstract Transitioning toward sustainable agriculture production is key in achieving development goals. However, quantifying the sustainability status of current agricultural mix and figuring out a future crop livestock that nutritionally adequate, low environmental impact profitable to farmers, formidable challenge for any country. Here through case-study on Indian agriculture, we demonstrate application framework first characterize by comparing 31 indicators with respective benchmarks across nutrition (social), environment economic dimensions each 36 states. Next, mathematical optimization algorithms calculate state objective maximizing farmers’ profit under constraint total national meets nutritional requirements population without exceeding footprint levels. Characterization results show India does not produce enough certain micronutrients (vitamin-E, choline) carbon, nitrogen freshwater footprints exceed their planetary boundaries while income remains below targets. Optimization algorithm generated amounts 138 items showed fruits, vegetables, legumes, oilseeds needs increase 50%–100% cereals need reduce 50% levels India. This will result an farmer’s 25% average, fulfil 10%. Our approach can act as template other countries collecting necessary data determining optimum mix.
