In less developed countries that often face higher rates of malnourishment, monoculture crop farming proves to be simpler and more efficient. Monoculture farming involves growing one kind of crop, which involves less experience, effort, and resources than polyculture which deals with many sorts of plants. In line with the United Nation's 2nd Sustainable Development goal, we are hoping to decrease the effects of malnourishment with our sustainable techology. Our solution will give farmers a hardier crop, and surrounding people the nutrients they need to live a healthy lifestyle.

The process would work as follows:

Identify the genes responsible for the biosynthesis of the desired vitamin: Scientists would need to identify the genes that encode the enzymes involved in the particular biosynthesis. These genes are typically found in other organisms, such as bacteria or plants, that produce the desired nutrient.

Isolate the genes: Once the genes have been identified, they would need to be isolated and cloned into a vector, such as a plasmid, which can be used to transfer the genes into the quinoa plant.

Introduce the genes into the quinoa plant: The vector containing the biotin biosynthesis genes would then be introduced into the quinoa plant using a variety of techniques, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation or biolistics. These techniques involve introducing the vector into the plant cells and allowing it to integrate into the plant genome.

Screen for the desired nutrient production: Once the genes have been integrated into the quinoa genome, scientists would need to screen the plants for biotin production. This can be done by measuring the levels of biotin in the plant tissues using various biochemical assays.

Select and breed the modified plants: Once the desired nutrient-producing plants have been identified, they can be selected and bred to produce more plants with the desired trait. This can be done through conventional breeding methods, such as crossing the modified plants with other high-yielding quinoa varieties.
