Agricultural lands with irrigation facilities have been exploited to maximum, and hence we need to focus on dry lands to further increase grain production. Owing to low fertility, utilization of dry lands to produce sufcient quality grains is a big challenge.

These nutri-cereals abode vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, phyto-chemicals and antioxidants that can help to eradicate the plethora of nutritional defciency diseases.

ICH/UNHCR Handout 3 Section 1 Nutritional Requirements For people to be healthy and productive they need a certain amount of nutrients. This is called their nutritional requirement. • The amount of energy that people get from their food is measured in kilo calories (kcal). • The average person needs about 2100 kcal each day • 17-20 % of this energy should come from fat • At least 10 % of this energy should come from protein • People also need certain amounts of vitamins and minerals • For example the average person should have at least 12 mg of the B vitamin niacin, 28 mg of vitamin C, and 22 mg of iron each day.

There are several ways of fortifying the nutrients in food such as dietary diversification, use of drugs and industrial fortification. However, the affordability and sustainability of these methods have not been completely achieved. Plants absorb nutrients from fertilizers, but most conventional fertilizers have low nutrient use and uptake efficiency.

The focus of the lesson is the relationship between micronutrients and the proper metabolic function of plants and humans. This lesson could also be taught as an introductory lesson in biochemistry, nutrition, botany, or ecology. Micronutrients specific to plants and to human metabolic function will be explored through research, observation, and discussion. Learning Outcomes • Students will be able to name and identify micronutrients essential to plants and humans. • Students will be able to explain how specific micronutrients function in plants and in humans. • Students will be able to associate deficiency of a micronutrient with a specific outcome in plants and humans. • Students will be able to identify various micronutrient deficiencies in a plant by examining observable symptoms. • Students will be able to identify various micronutrient deficiencies in humans by evaluating and analyzing a list of symptoms.
