“…Using some vitamins (Fitzpatrick and Chapman 2020;Jiang et al 2020;Tiozon et al 2021) and other essential compounds like carotenoids (Watkins andPogson 2020 andZheng et al 2020) and folate (Strobbe and Van Der Straeten 2017;De Lepeleire et al 2018;Viscardi et al 2020) for human health also have been applied in biofortification strategies. Biofortification has distinguished features as a promising approach including effective process in delivering micronutrients in an appreciative impact on human health, stability in enriching micronutrient levels, high yield which may guarantee high crop productivity, efficacious in increasing and improving status of micronutrients in people consuming them, taste and cooking quality of biofortified crop should be guaranteed and accepted by consumers as a major criteria for process of biofortification (Chandanshive et al 2020).…”

H UMAN health may depend on the environment and its compartments, which may include climatic factors. These climatic factors and their changes might impact on human health particularly the outbreak of pandemics like COVID-19. The combined stress resulted from climate changes and COVID-19 could be noticed in several countries especially in the developing countries. Malnutrition is considered one of the most important problems in the developing countries in particular under the droughts, flooding, and other climatic events. Malnutrition was aggravated under COVID-19 outbreak in these countries due to the closure of borders between countries, the crisis of global trade, and the global food insecurity. The biofortification process is the sustainable solution to overcome malnutrition, which included very recently using nano-nutrients as called nano-biofortification. The approach of nanobiofortification is a promising tool in producing biofortified edible plants, otherwise this tool still needs more studies to answer the open questions like which nano-nutrients can be used in nano-biofortification? Which recommended doses and crops are considered suitable candidates?
