International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) NY Times columnist Nicholas Kristof praises micronutrients as an overlooked but key element to improving global health: http://bit.ly/69smBR. Quotes: "These micronutrients are the miracle substance I’m talking about, and there’s scarcely a form of foreign aid more cost-effective than getting them into the food supply." ... "It’s not a sexy world health issue, but it’s about the nuts and bolts of putting together a healthy population. Putting small amounts of iron, iodine and folic acid in the food supply hasn’t drawn attention the way it does when you treat someone who is sick or in a refugee camp. Until recently, this has been off everybody’s radar screen." See more on what HarvestPlus is doing on micronutrients http://bit.ly/72DxS9.

There’s scarcely a form of foreign aid more cost-effective than getting micronutrients like folic acid into the food supply.

Counting on Beans Mungbean improvement in Asia
Partly as a result of a cross-country research program that involved farmers in the innovation process, the cultivation of mungbean—a little-known pulse crop that is high in protein, iron, and other micronutrients, and useful in maintaining soil fertility—has grown dramatic ...ally since the 1980s. The release of mungbean varieties with traits such as higher yields, short maturity times, and other characteristics tailored to different local environments contributed to yield gains of 28 to 55 percent among an estimated 1.5 million farmers. This was a key factor in the 35 percent increase in Asian mungbean production between 1985 and 2000 that accompanied a significant increase in global consumption during the same period.

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) A recent article in the New York Times, “Aid Gives Alternative to African Orphanages,” mentions that the Joint Learning Initiative on Children and AIDS (JLICA) strongly endorses cash transfers to assist the poorest families. JLICA’s recommendation was based on evidence from a research report by experts at the Internati ...onal Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), which is summarized in the brief “What is the Potential of Cash Transfers to Strengthen Families affected by HIV and AIDS? A Review of the Evidence on Impacts and Key Policy Debates.”
