Biofortified farming systems for sustainable agriculture and improved environment

Development of agricultural production is more important, for several countries, than sustainability, rational use of resources or even environmental quality. However, development and sustainability should not be incompatible; they represent the way through which agricultural growth is achieved [1]. Lack of agricultural development, in several cases, might lead to unsustainability, particularly in low potential areas, where intensification and increased production are needed to take pressure off or actually help restore the fragile natural resources base.
