A hundred million people in Africa eat the cereal sorghum every day. It's not just their choice for breakfast, but the basis of their entire diet. The problem is it's not nutritious enough for healthy growth.
Scientists want to add vitamins A and E, minerals and protein to improve sorghum. But because it's tricky to improve the plant with traditional breeding, GM is a nifty solution.
By using genetic modification, scientists can give sorghum a direct boost.
