“Vitamin and mineral deficiency (VMD) touches the lives of perhaps a third of the world’s people. After a decade of dramatic developments, the facts are known, the solutions are available, and the cause is one in which many individuals and organizations - governments, the private sector, the medical and scientific community, civil society - can all become involved. The challenge is therefore clear. And when so much could be achieved for so many and for so little, it would be a matter of global disgrace if vitamin and mineral deficiency were not brought under control in the years immediately ahead.”

“In our world of plenty, no one should live in hunger. No child should have his growth stunted by malnutrition. No child should have her opportunity for a better life curtailed even before she is born, because her mother was undernourished.”

Ban Ki-moon, World Food Prize laureate award ceremony, 2012.
