- Biofortification (i.e. breeding crops to increase their nutritional value, which can include both conventional selective breeding, and modern genetic modification)
- Microbial biofortification and synthetic biology (i.e. addition of probiotic bacteria to foods)
- Commercial and industrial fortification (i.e. flour, rice, oils (common cooking foods))
