Extent Micronutrient Malnutrition: 

Extent Micronutrient Malnutrition 2 billion suffer from anemia; 50% of pregnant women in Asia 2 billion suffer from zinc deficiency 2 billion suffer from iron deficiency 250 million children are vitamin A deficient

Dietary Quality and Micronutrients: 

Dietary Quality and Micronutrients Micronutrient malnutrition is a major public health problem. What food policies and programs can be implemented to ensure improved dietary quality? Can staple food crops be developed that are high in micronutrient content?

Estimated Contribution of Major Determinants to Reductions in Child Malnutrition, 1970–95 Source: Smith and Haddad (1999) Note: Malnourished children refers to underweight children Food availability 26.1% Health environment 19.3% Women's status 11.6% Women's education 43.0%

Slide30: 

Women with more education have: Greater capacity to process information Greater capacity to acquire skills More stimulating interactions with children Greater knowledge of nutrition … all of which are important to the quality of child care and food security

Slide31: 

Direct actions to reduce malnutrition Better nutrition for pregnant women Targeted nutrition program (school feeding programs) Preventing and treating micronutrient deficiency diseases Preventing diet related chronic diseases

Slide32: 

Indirect actions to reduce malnutrition Improving women status (girls education) Focus agricultural research on dietary quality Improving water, sanitation and health service delivery Improving technology and legislation for micronutrient fortification Food price policy for increasing the quality and quantity of food

Conclusions: 

Conclusions Good nutrition is both a development and ethical imperative Human capital is the most precious asset in a rapidly globalizing world Reducing food insecurity and malnutrition is the first and most important step towards increasing quality of human capital
