This document discusses objectives and ongoing work for improving micronutrient deficiencies in Latin America through biofortified crops. The objectives are to: 1) improve impacts of biofortified products on micronutrient deficient populations; 2) identify production and consumption chains for delivering biofortified crops to those in need; and 3) analyze this for researchers and beneficiaries. The ongoing work includes analyzing crop production locations, consumption patterns, targeting priority areas, and determining trial sites based on climate similarities to priority areas.

- 1. Objectives • Improve chancesthat biofortified products will have positive impacts on micronutrient deficient populations in Latin America • identify where and how biofortified products can move through production and consumption chains that reach micronutrient deficient populations, and to bring this analysis to researchers and beneficiaries
- 2. • Food production •Food consumption • Targeting priority areas • Determining where to site trials • Influences of food preferences • Implications of trade • Implications of past adoption • Optimizing use of available data Ongoing work
- 3. Where are crops produced? Cassava Maize SwPotRiceBeans
- 4. Consumption, implications - assumes 66ppm for beans - shows the consumption pattern - can we estimate the total MN buget? - for AgroSalud household surveys for Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras Nicaragua and Peru
- 5. Targeting for AgroSalud •Cartographic modeling • Using production, population & health • Creating indices (scale data 0- 1; cube root for production; multiplicative index of 3 factors; filter data to derive homogenous areas).
