So I was wondering if biofortified varieties are climate proofed? I.e. will they continue to deliver the micrnutrients under a range of different climate scenarios?

Some evidence suggests that climate change will negatively affect micronutrient status in staple crops. So i guess your work will understand that better, but also provide varieties that increase micronutrients despite climate change.

As an aside, it was coined by Steve Beebe from CIAT. Nice story about him here: http://blog.ciat.cgiar.org/bean-expert/pulse-profile-steve-beebe-the-bean-breeder/
