dc.description.abstractThe project addresses the most widespread form of malnutrition in the world: iron deficiency afflicts 2 billion people, principally women and children, causing anemia, reduced energy, damped cognition, and increased maternal mortality. Addressing it constitutes a historic contribution to gender equity. The Food Engineering Group at the University of Toronto (U of T) with support from the Government of Canada through the Micronutrient Initiative (1995 – 2013) developed microencapsulation-based technology to produce iron premix for double-fortified salt (iron and iodine). Between 2015-2018 the project reached an estimated 50+ million people making it arguably one of the world’s largest and fastest growing new development innovations.en
