Optimized Plant Nutrition for Precision Biofortification to Meet Nutrition Custom Human

Biofortification, the enhancement of plant nutritional quality, involves increasing organic and mineral factors or reducing antinutritional elements. Market-available successes include selenium-enriched potatoes and iodine-enriched carrots. The evolving challenge focuses on tailored plant nutrition, producing foods for specific populations, known as “tailored food.” Soilless cultivation systems prove ideal, allowing precise mineral modulation for human health benefits or, if required, reducing harmful elements for individuals with metabolic disorders. Examples include high-silicon vegetables for osteoporosis patients and low-potassium plant foods for kidney disease patients. Modularity in plant nutrition, achievable through soilless systems, offers promising prospects for tailored foods addressing nutritional needs. This innovation, easily integrated into existing production facilities, aligns with global health initiatives, promoting nutrient-rich diets and countering malnutrition. The simplicity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of this approach, alongside emerging technologies, position customized plant-based foods as versatile ingredients for fortified products and daily consumption.
