3. Micronutrient fortification (iron and salt iodization)

All scientific studies of such interventions prove that fortification of basic foodstuffs works.

UNICEF is working closely with private sector partners, the Flour Fortification Initiative, the Micronutrient Initiative, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition and the Asian Development Bank, in efforts including food fortification testing in China and Viet Nam.

Interest has increased in weekly supplementation for adolescent girls and in the fortification of flour.

Overall, we can typically best help through direct interventions, including micronutrient supplements, fortification, biofortification, and nutritional promotion.

The equation is straightforward 160 million for fortification programs could improve the health of one billion people.

Food fortification and iron supplementation are widely ranked among the most cost effective interventions for poverty reduction.

(If an earlier fortification did exist, it must have been constructed using less durable materials such as mud.

Supplementation programs costs 4,300 for every life they save in India, whereas fortification programs cost about 2,700 for each life saved.

In particular, governments must invest in nutrition through budgets, introduce mandatory fortification of staple foods, curb junk food, and improve quality control.

These include Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorder through universalising Iodized Salt Control of Iron Deficiency through Flour Fortification with iron Vitamin A Fortification of edible oil ghee and Vitamin A Supplementation for children from 6 months to five years of age as a regular part of National Immunization Days (NIDS and Sub NIDS).

Supplementation programs costs 4,300 for every life they save in India, whereas fortification programs cost about 2,700 for each life saved. Both are great deals.

In its latest statement, Greenpeace says that golden rice is neither needed nor necessary, and calls instead for supplementation and fortification, which are described as cost effective.

From 1996 to 2000, this Commission implemented three major intervention strategies targeting children and pregnant women vitamin A and iron supplementation, fortification of food products and dietary diversification

Science has demonstrated the cost effectiveness of food fortification, and the technologies and know how are available in the private sector, which has the capacity to innovate and deliver products to the poorest.

Three gates of the demolished medieval fortification have survived to this day the Isartor in the east, the Sendlinger Tor in the south and the Karlstor in the west of the inner city.

Moreover, these essential interventions cost little and deliver a lot to enrich cooking oil with Vitamin A costs less than 0.10 per liter, and fortification in general has a benefit to cost ratio of at least eight to one.

Opponents maintain that there are better ways to deal with vitamin A deficiency. In its latest statement, Greenpeace says that golden rice is neither needed nor necessary, and calls instead for supplementation and fortification, which are described as cost effective.

Humans have added essential vitamins or minerals to their foods since time immemorial indeed, since the beginning of the twentieth century, food fortification has been a major government policy in developed countries to reduce nutritional deficiencies and improve public health.
