Webinar 1 of the Second Global Summit on Food Fortification Series - #FutureFortified
At least 340 million children under 5 (one in two) suffer from hidden hunger, known as micronutrient malnutrition.
Large scale food fortification (LSFF) is the addition of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, iron, zinc, and folic acid, to staple foods like wheat or maize flour, edible oils and fats, salt, sugar, and rice. Biofortification aims to increase nutrient levels in crops during plant growth rather than through manual means during processing.
