“…A population-based study in Ceará, Brazil was conducted to assess the association between vit. A supplementation and child development using 1,232 children between the age of 0 and 35 months in 8,000 households (71). It was reported that children supplemented with vitamin A showed over 40% lower probability each for delay in development of cognitive and motor abilities, as compared to children without vitamin A supplement.…”

Nutritious foods are essential for human health and development. However, malnutrition and hidden hunger continue to be a challenge globally. In most developing countries, access to adequate and nutritious food continues to be a challenge. Although hidden hunger is less prevalent in developed countries compared to developing countries where iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies are common. The United Nations (UN) 2nd Sustainable Development Goal was set to eradicate malnutrition and hidden hunger. Hidden hunger has led to numerous cases of infant and maternal mortalities, and has greatly impacted growth, development, cognitive ability, and physical working capacity. This has influenced several countries to develop interventions that could help combat malnutrition and hidden hunger. Interventions such as dietary diversification and food supplementation are being adopted. However, fortification but mainly biofortification has been projected to be the most sustainable solution to malnutrition and hidden hunger. Plant-based foods (PBFs) form a greater proportion of diets in certain populations; hence, fortification of PBFs is relevant in combating malnutrition and hidden hunger. Agronomic biofortification, plant breeding, and transgenic approaches are some currently used strategies in food crops. Crops such as cereals, legumes, oilseeds, vegetables, and fruits have been biofortified through all these three strategies. The transgenic approach is sustainable, efficient, and rapid, making it suitable for biofortification programs. Omics technology has also been introduced to improve the efficiency of the transgenic approach.

Stunting has a serious impact on the quality of human resources. Increasing access to health services is the effort of the Government of Indonesia to reduce stunting cases. This study aims to analyze the relationship between access to health services such as weighing of integrated services post, immunization, and supplementation of vitamin A with stunting in children aged 24-59 months. A case-control study was conducted on 292 samples which were divided into 146 case groups and 146 control groups. Data were collected by interview respondents, and documentation, and measurement. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square test. The results showed that there was no relationship between weighing of integrated services post (p=0.42), immunization (p=0.58), and supplementation of vitamin A (p=0.06) with stunting in children aged 24-59 months. Access to adequate health services will not be effective to reduce stunting cases if it is not balanced with good nutrition and health practices from mothers of children under five. Nutritional counseling and assistance from health workers are needed intensively from pregnancy to the first two years of life, especially for mothers with low education and less exposure to mass media and electronics.
