03 May 2024 --- The new, multi-partner European consortium led by University College Cork, Ireland, has received close to €10 million (US$10.7 million) in funding to research micronutrient deficiencies over the next four years. Zero Hidden Hunger EU aims to estimate prevalence and health costs and develop tailored solutions. Micronutrient deficiency, or hidden hunger, is a widespread form of malnutrition that significantly challenges European human health and development. The project aims to fill a critical gap in data on the prevalence and underlying causes of micronutrient deficiencies, which are vital to addressing the issue effectively.
