“…Efficacy trials for vitamin A OSP (van Jaarsveld et al 2005;Low et al 2007), vitamin A orange maize (Palmer et al 2016;Gannon et al 2014), vitamin A yellow cassava (Talsma et al 2016), iron pearl millet (Finkelstein et al 2015;Scott et al 2014;Pompano et al 2013), and iron beans (Luna et al 2012;Haas et al 2016) provide promising evidence that biofortification improves micronutrient status among target populations. To further expand the evidence base for biofortified crops, research is under way to conduct iron, zinc, and vitamin A crop efficacy trials with children younger than two in India and Zambia.…”

“…The proportion of children consuming foods rich in vitamin A increases with age, and breastfed children are less likely to consume vitamin A-rich foods than non-breastfed children. Children of young mothers (age [15][16][17][18][19] are least likely to consume vitamin Arich foods compared to children of older mothers. The study found little variation by mother's education or household wealth.…”
