Promotion and utilization of plant foods for improvements in antioxidant nutritional status with particular reference to vitamin A deficiency and degenerative diseases have been explored through wise selection of food or nutrition counseling. Numerous phytochemicals present in vegetables and fruits that have biologically plausible roles in reducing the risk of disease hove been investigated.

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) being a siient, unseen threat which if untreated can eventually lead to blindness in children and also affects their immune potentials. As a short-term measure, periodic administration of large doses of vitamin A has been suggested to reduce the serious consequences of VAD. In India, the prevalence of Bitot spots declined from 1.8 per cent in 1970 to 0.8 per cent in 2002 and further decreased to 0.7 per cent in 2007 and severe forms of keratomalacia and blindness have almost disappeared. Epidemiological evidence indicated that VAD even at sub-clinical level is associated with increased risk of morbidity/mortality in children and the focus has been shifted from xerophthalmia to systemic effects. Hence the present agenda is virtual elimination of VAD and all its consequences. In this direction our earlier efforts as a long-term food based strategy have generated database for β-carotene content and identified rich sources in commonly consumed Indian foods.- Biofortification in Cereals:Progress and Prospects

Food security of the country has been improved due to green revolution and enhancement of cereal production. However, recent surveys showed 35.8% of children suffer from malnutrition in India. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has taken lead for the biofortification of cereal crops based on earlier national and international research efforts, targeting the enhancement of nutrients in staple food crops. In this article, the significant progress made in rice, wheat, maize and millets for identification of genotypes, development, evaluation and release of the varieties with high nutrient contents and their bioavailability studies is discussed.Keywords
