Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had large negative effects on countries’ economies and individual well-being throughout the world, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Aquaculture must grow above the current rate of 11% per year to meet projected demand and reduce dependence on seafood imports. Government support and private investment are urgently needed for sustainable growth.
Sound monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems are needed to inform effective biofortification program management and implementation.
One Health has been defined as an approach to the pursuit of public health and well-being that recognizes the interconnections between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.
The emergence of COVID-19 has drawn the attention of health researchers sharply back to the role that food systems can play in generating human disease burden.
Nutrient enriched crops (NECs) were developed through biofortification as a tool to reach the world's most vulnerable.
HarvestPlus improves nutrition and health by working with partners worldwide to develop and promote biofortified crops that are rich in vitamins and minerals, and providing leadership on biofortification evidence and technology.
Blue foods play a central role in food and nutrition security for billions of people and are a cornerstone of the livelihoods, economies, and cultures of many coastal and riparian communities.
Objective: The objective of this review is to develop a definition of biofortification through the synthesis of food biofortification publications and to document the breadth of the research on this topic.
We hear a growing chorus of warnings from members of the food and nutrition security community about the dire consequences of the war in Ukraine on global rates of hunger and malnutrition.
Food systems are at the center of a brewing storm consisting of a rapidly changing climate, rising hunger and malnutrition and significant social inequities.
The scientific body of evidence supporting biofortification spans over two decades.
