{'bio fortification technique plant breeders': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'plant diseases': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'micronutrients': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'food production': [2, 1, 1, 0], 'vitamins': [3, 0, 5, 9], 'insect pests': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'deficiencies': [1, 0, 1, 0]}
In biofortification, plant breeders use breeding techniques to overcome deficiencies in micronutrients and vitamins in crops. This technique aims to enhance the nutritional value of crops to improve human health. Option 1, loss due to insect pests, is not directly related to biofortification. Option 2, decrease in food production, is a general issue in agriculture but not specifically addressed by biofortification. Option 4, loss due to plant diseases, is also not the primary focus of biofortification. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the purpose of biofortification in addressing deficiencies in micronutrients and vitamins.
