Micronutrient malnutrition 2 billion+ affected Photo: C. Hotz

Global Micronutrient Deficiency This map details worldwide severity of the most common micronutrient deficiencies—vitamin A, anemia, and zinc—using World Health Organization (WHO) children under 5 prevalence data. Severity was coded using a 3-point weighting system based on levels of public health significance cut-offs (low, moderate, and high).

Lessons learned for scaling-up

Ensure agronomic quality—to be competitive, OSP yields should be equal to other varieties

Involve both women and men for both nutrition and agronomic messages

Engage markets for long-term adoption
