A Massive Problem
Consequences ofMicronutrient Malnutrition
• Increased illness and disease• Growth hindered - stunting. Irreversible • Lower cognitive ability• Capacity for physical labor reduced• Poorer reproductive health• Death• Decline in productivity> lower GDP
1. Identify target populations” where they, what they eat
3. Breed nutrient-rich staple crops
4. Test new varieties in farmer fields
5. Ensure that these novel crops are efficacious
6. Disseminate nutritious seeds to farmers
7. Promote marketing/consumption
2. Set nutrient targets for plant breeders based on consumption, bioavailability, retention, losses
