  abstract = {{T}wo plant production-based strategies - biofortification and dietary diversification - have been advocated to overcome micronutrient deficiencies, which are major contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide. {T}he respective benefits and effectiveness of these two strategies are the subject of controversy. {E}xpanding the scope of this debate beyond the sole nutritional outcomes, and using a food system approach, this interdisciplinary review aims to providing a novel and holistic perspective on the ongoing debate. {T}he literature shows that biofortification can be an effective medium-term strategy to tackle nutritional risk in vulnerable populations in some contexts, but that it also may have negative environmental, economic, and social impacts. {D}ietary diversification, on the other hand, is known to be a sustainable way to overcome micronutrient deficiencies, bringing with it long-term benefits, including nutritional, and beyond, the provision of ecosystem services. {D}ietary diversification is however challenging to implement, with benefits that are not immediate. {B}iodiversity as a basis of human diets is critically important to improving both human and environmental health. {D}iet diversification through increased mobilisation of biodiversity in food systems deserves much more attention and support in policies for food and nutrition in low- and middle-income countries.},
