Chapter 40 in Food Fortification in a Globalized World, 1st Edition edited by M.G.Venkatesh Mannar and Richard Hurrell
This chapter looks at the need to rededicate and double down efforts to eliminate the global micronutrient problem. It outlines how new technologies, improved communications, and an expanded public infrastructure all can be leveraged to ensure food fortification can be scaled up to reach entire countries helping populations better achieve their full social, physiological, and economic potential. By eliminating micronutrient malnutrition through complementary public-private-civic sector initiatives like food fortification, we could make an enormous difference to the health and well-being of millions of people around the world.
