Hidden hunger has long been an overlooked problem. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies have to be remedied and the availability of calories needs to be increased. As a matter of fact, the number of people who do not have access to a balanced diet has multiplied in rich and poor countries, with lasting consequences for health and well-being. Hidden hunger not only affects childhood growth and cognitive development, but also reduces productivity and well-being later in life, thus keeping the affected population trapped in a circle of poverty and malnutrition. This book illustrates the global fight against hunger by national governments and international organizations. Presented at the Third Hidden Hunger Conference held at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany, it presents a range of strategies being implemented in various regions of the world to improve nutrition quality and combat this international crisis.

A woman's health reflects both her individual biology and her socio-cultural, economic and physical environment. These factors affect both the length and quality of her life. For example, the average life expectancy of a woman varies greatly according to her race. In 1997, the life expectancy of white women was 5 years longer than that of African-Indian women (8o years versus 75 years). Women who live in poverty or have less than a high school education have a shorter life expectancy; higher rates of illness, injury, disability and death; and more limited access to high-quality health care services. Historically, women have also been the primary health care providers and health decision makers for their families.
