The potential of genetically modified food crops to improve human nutrition in developing countries 1
这篇论文探讨了转基因技术如何通过提高主食中维生素和矿物质的含量及生物利用率，来改善低收入国家因饮食质量差导致的微量营养素缺乏问题，从而降低母婴死亡率、减少疾病、提升认知能力和劳动力素质。
Because of poor dietary quality and consequent widespread micronutrient malnutrition in low income countries, children and their mothers, who have higher requirements for vitamins and minerals due to rapid growth and reproduction respectively, have higher mortality, become sick more often, have their cognitive abilities compromised for a lifetime, and are less productive members of the workforce. Their quality of life and aggregate economic growth are unnecessarily compromised. One way that biotechnology can help to improve the nutrition and health of consumers in developing countries is by increasing the vitamin and mineral content and their bioavailability in staple foods." -- Author's Abstract
