1. Zinc Estimated 2 billion Iron Estimated 2 billion A Massive Problem

2. Consequences of Micronutrient 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

4. 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
