Dietary diversity and biofortification: closer than you think
Some 2 billion people suffer from hidden hunger caused by infections and diets lacking in essential micronutrients such as vitamin A, iron, and zinc.

| description | Some 2 billion people suffer from hidden hunger caused by infections and

vegetables, beans and pulses, and animal source foods. But what if those
food staples that people eat regularly were made to work toward better
nutrition? And how does that fit with the need for dietary diversification? |
