HMB443H - Global Hidden Hunger

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, termed ‘hidden hunger’, affect about half the world’s population. We explore the global nature, catastrophic consequences, and causes of these deficiencies. We also discuss formulation and implementation of international, national, and local policies to alleviate ‘hidden hunger’ especially in infants and young children.
