Micronutrient malnutrition is one of the major concerns noted in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In developing countries, children under the age of five and pregnant women are at the highest risk of adverse events from micronutrient malnutrition. Staple food crops that are common in developing countries are rich in carbohydrates but low in micronutrients, especially iron. Genetic biofortification of staple food crops in farmer-preferred cultivars is a promising approach to deliver nutritious food, enhanced in iron concentration, to consumers who are at risk of malnutrition. In order to achieve biofortification, it is critical to understand the processes of iron uptake, regulation, transport dynamics, and whole-plant iron storage and how to manipulate them in individual crops. In this review, case studies of staple food crops including rice, wheat, and cassava are used to introduce iron biofortification strategies in both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous species, along with a discussion of consumer-based considerations for the deployment of biofortified crops also presented.

Macromarketing Pedagogy: Empowering Students to Achieve a Sustainable World
Shapiro, Stanley; Beninger, Stefanie; Domegan, Christine; Reppel, Alexander; Stanton, Julie; Watson, Forrest (SAGE Publications, 2020-08-01)
The United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are challenging the world to work towards a more sustainable future. Its 17 goals are ambitious, requiring concerted and system-based efforts driven by critical and socially aware thinking. However, marketing education is largely falling short of teaching students to think that way. Given macromarketing's unique perspective on the interactions among markets, marketing, and society, macromarketers are poised to contribute to marketing pedagogy and to c...
Energy indicators for sustainable development: comparison of Turkey and selected european union countries
Toğçuoğlu, Mehlika Merve; Aşık, Serap; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2011)
The aim of this study is to compare the sustainable development perspective of Turkey with selected European Union countries in terms of Energy Indicators for Sustainable Energy between 1980-2008. The study is conducted in a comparative and descriptive way by using energy indicators. The common energy policy priorities of Turkey and European Union are determined in the light of recent literature. An energy indicator set is constructed according to energy priorities, namely, energy efficiency and energy inte...
WHEAT BIOFORTIFICATION - A POTENTIAL KEY TO HUMAN MALNUTRITION
Khan, Mohd Kamran; Pandey, Anamika; Akkaya, Mahinur; GEZGİN, SAİT; HAMURCU, MEHMET; HAKKI, ERDOĞAN EŞREF (2017-01-01)
Wheat production is required to double by 2050 in order to facilitate the global food assurance. Along with the rise in wheat production, improvement of the nutrient value of wheat varieties is another crucial challenge faced by wheat breeders. It is well established that more than 40% people in the world are at a risk of malnutrition caused by the deficiency of Fe, Zn and protein in their food. Numerous strategies are adopted by scientists, breeders and food industries to combat the problem. In this contex...
Environmental governance for sustainable tourism development: Collaborative networks and organisation building in the Antalya tourism region
Erkus-Ozturk, Hilal; Eraydın, Ayda (2010-02-01)
For more than two decades the attainment of sustainable environmental quality and the protection of environmental assets have been at the forefront of central policy issues in global tourism development. Recently, it has been argued that collaborative and associative forms of governance among tourism companies and other related agents are growing in importance in the drive for sustainable and environmentally sensitive tourism. Despite the increasing number of debates on the role of networking on tourism the...
Uncovering teacher candidates' sustainability consciousness level
Şen, Mehmet; Güler, Fulden; Özdemir, Mine; Öztekin, Ceren (null; 2018-09-07)
Sustainable development aims to increase quality of life, but it also aims to conserve natural sources. By this way, next generations could use these sources (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987). Sustainable development has three dimensions which are environmental, economic and social. In developing countries like Turkey, natural sources are rapidly consumed in order to provide economic development. However, destruction of natural sources damages three dimensions of sustainable developmen...
