Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Malnutrition Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on September 1, 2018, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on malnutrition. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors and contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].
Nearly one-third of the world is obese or overweight, leading to a rise in chronic diseases in developing countries. Combating the problem requires funding, innovation and an understanding of the link to undernutrition.
Malnutrition doesn’t begin or end with stunted toddlers. Nearly 800 million people are going hungry – an intergenerational cycle of undernutrition with severe consequences. Solving it requires women’s empowerment.
Some 2 billion people suffer from micronutrient malnutrition, with consequences that include cognitive delays, weakened immunity and increased risk for birth defects. Food fortification is one low-cost solution – and it’s already working.
