With millions suffering from malnutrition in both the developed and developing world, how can people be supported to adopt nutrient rich diets that are well-adapted to their local conditions and culture?
“To tackle malnutrition, research should focus on the following areas: research on the biofortification of staple crops for hard-to-reach smallholder farmers; research on biofortification of local crops that are an important part of the diet of both rural and urban populations; and research on barriers to adoption of biofortified staples.”
