"We need to reimagine the narrative around the centrality of micronutrients for survival, growth, development, learning, productivity. Why would a prime minister worry about something that is micro, if she could focus on something that is mighty? So letās communicate about micronutrients as mighty."
Victor Aguayo
UNICEF, Director, Nutrition and Child Development, USA
Economists have long hailed micronutrient supplementation and fortification and biofortification among the worldās best investments. The cost-benefit ratio for improved health and productivity for these three interventions is a minimum of $10 for every $1 invested, but as high as $55 for every $1 invested, depending on the particular intervention used.
