Hidden Hunger - From Assessment to Solutions

March 6-9, 2013

University of Hohenheim

Stuttgart, Germany

The International Congress Hidden Hunger had three objectives:

1.) to create awareness of the global problem Hidden Hunger,

2.) to get scientific issues on the agenda of policy makers, academicians, politicians and business leaders, as well as

3.) to discuss solutions to address worldwide micronutrient deficiencies.

Scientists from different areas, field workers, members of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and representatives from administration, management and policy were invited to discuss the different topics for four days at the University of Hohenheim located in Stuttgart-Plieningen, Germany.

Attention was given to Africa and Asia as well as North America and Europe. Hidden Hunger is an increasing problem even in the developed countries, whose potential negative consequences on long-term health are often overlooked and underestimated.
