ABSTRACT
Despite the fact that our world produces enough to feed the entire global population, this food and the technologies used to produce it do not always reach those who need it most. While global hunger and malnutrition rates have been steadily decreasing since 1990, an estimated 795 million people continue to suffer from chronic hunger (Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations [FAO] et al., 2015), and 98% of the world’s undernourished population resides in developing countries (FAO et al., 2015). Approximately two billion people around the world are anemic, a condition that stems from a number of nutrition and social determinants (World Health Organization [WHO], 2014).
