Micronutrients deficiency can be consider as one of the yield "quantity and quality" limiting factor in arid calcareous lands and can be consider as the troubling component of hunger. Therefore, enriching food product through adding nutrient to food product or through increasing soil fertility and breeding crop for nutrient efficiency are alternatives available to improve food quality. However, poor people have no excess to food additives and can benefits from naturally enriched food products or what being called biofortification. The undergoing short review would discuss these concepts and their implementation and uses in Iraq.
