Bouis, Howarth E.Hotz, CMcClafferty, Bonnie F.Meenakshi, J.V.Pfeiffer, Wolfgang H.[Biofortification: a new tool to reduce micronutrient malnutrition]Biofortification: a new tool to reduce micronutrient malnutrition

Biofortification is increasingly seen as an additional tool to combat micronutrient malnutrition. This paper estimates the costs and potential benefits of biofortification of globally important staple food crops with provitamin A, iron, and zinc for twelve countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin Ame...

The purpose of the evaluation was to quantify the impact of the recent policy change in West Bengal relating to the pricing of electricity from a flat rate tariff to metered tariff. The study attempted to assess its impact on the total number of hours pumped, especially in the summer season, and ...

In this Highlight, the impact of metering of electric tube wells on groundwater use in West Bengal, India was quantified. Quantification of impact was made feasible through surveys conducted in 2004 and 2007 and then again a follow-up survey in 2010 by revisiting the same villages and households....

The goal of the HarvestPlus reaching end users (REU) orange sweet potato (OSP) project is to increase vitamin A intake and improve vitamin status among Vulnerable populations (women and children) in rural Uganda by introducing beta-carotene-rich OSP, as well as related messages concerning ...


Gilligan, D.O.Kumar, N.McNiven, S.Meenakshi, J.V.Quisumbing, Agnes R.[Who decides to grow orange sweet potatoes? Bargaining power and adoption of biofortified crops in Uganda.]Who decides to grow orange sweet potatoes? Bargaining power and adoption of biofortified crops in Uganda.

Deficiencies of vitamin A, iron, and zinc affect over one-half of the world's population. Progress has been made to control micronutrient deficiencies through supplementation and food fortification, but new approaches are needed, especially to reach the rural poor. Biofortification (enriching the...
