乌干达南部的一个市场上，两个小贩蹲坐在一小堆红薯边，一旁的牌子上写着富含维A。顾客路过，埋怨价格太贵：比一般红薯贵10%。贵是贵一点，小贩解释道，但是这种红薯更优质，富含更多维A。虽然还要再讨价还价一番，但已经确定的是作物养分价值方面已经有所进步了。自20xx年，
供应商HarvestPlus开头在乌干达和莫桑比亚销售生物合成的块根作物，近5万农户开头种植此类作物。维A含量的显著增多，使得产品价格攀高。顾客最终也渐渐开头购买此类农产品。
中国有多少人Nutrition has long been the Cinderella of development. Lack of calorieshungeris a headline-grabber, particularly as rising food prices push more people towards starvation. But the hiddenhunger of micronutrient deficiencies harms even more people and inflicts lasting damage onthem and their societies. It, too, worns as food prices ri: families switch from costly,nutrient-rich, fruit, vegetables and meat to cheaper, nutrient-poor staples.
养分始终以来都是进展中被遗忘的短板，摄入能量不足饥饿占据了大大小小报刊的头版，尤其是当食品价格上涨，导致更多的人面临饥饿。然而，缺乏微量元素的隐性饥饿影响着更广泛的人群，并且对人们以及社会造成长期的危害。不仅如此，隐性饥饿还会加速食品价格上涨：许多家庭会从养分丰富的昂贵水果、蔬菜及肉类转向价格廉价但养分价值较低的主食产品。
In 20xx the Copenhagen Business School asked eight eminent economists to imagine they had$75 billion to spend on
caus that would most help the world. Five of their top ten involvednutrition: vitamin supplements for children, adding zinc and iodine to salt and breeding extramicronutrients into crops . Others included girls schools and tradeliberalisation.
20xx年，哥本哈根商学院邀请8位闻名的经济学家一同设想假如有750亿美元，将会用到哪些他们认为
对世界最有关心的事业上。十大事业中的前五项就包括养分：儿童补充维生素，食盐加锌和碘以及农作物增加微量元素。其他事业还包括女童训练以及贸易自由化。

在人体所需的40种养分元素中，有4种长期匮乏：铁、锌、碘和维A。维A对爱护人体器官粘膜至关重要，比如眼睛。维A的缺乏每年导致近50万儿童失明，其中一半的儿童因其他身体器官衰竭而死亡。补充维A是哥本哈根的经济学家最优先的选择。缺锌对大脑与运动神经功能有害，每年近40万人因缺锌死亡。缺铁致使免疫力下降，在一些贫困国家，到达生育年龄的妇女中有一半都有缺铁性贫血。
Too hungry to think properly饿得无法集中精神

The missing nutrients bite wide and deep. Education levels drop ; earning-power weakens. Even marriage chances wane: malnourished boysmarry women of lower educational levels when they grow up.
缺乏养分对人体危害很大，导致训练水平下降以及收入力量降低。甚至婚姻也因此走下坡路：养分不良的男性长大后会娶训练水平较低的女性为伴。
