Description: Nutritional hybridization is a process that seeks to combine different species of plants or animals to improve their nutritional value. This approach is based on the idea that by crossing varieties, hybrids can be obtained that are not only more resistant to diseases and adverse climatic conditions but also offer a superior nutritional profile. Hybridization can include the combination of characteristics such as protein content, vitamins, and minerals, resulting in healthier and more nutritious foods. This process is carried out through natural and artificial selection techniques, where the best characteristics of each parent are chosen to create a new hybrid that meets the desired standards. Nutritional hybridization is particularly relevant in the context of food security, as it can contribute to the production of crops that are not only abundant but also rich in essential nutrients for human health. In a world where the population continues to grow and the demand for nutritious foods increases, nutritional hybridization presents itself as a viable solution to address these food and public health challenges.
