Abstract
This chapter discusses the potential of biotechnology to improve the health and nutrition of consumers in developing countries. In the relatively wealthy countries of Europe, North America and elsewhere, consumers spend perhaps 10% of their income on food. For the most part consumers in developed countries are free of classical nutrient deficiencies, although over-consumption is a problem for some. Also in relatively wealthy countries there is, in general, good access to affordable medical care to meet health needs and most consumers in rich countries have access to a relatively inexpensive supply of safe and healthy food.
