Reducing the micronutrient gap

Around the world, half of all children and two-thirds of women of reproductive age are lacking the key micronutrients they need. At dsm-firmenich, we know challenges like these all too well. But we also know that prevention is better than the cure. That’s why we use our science and research capabilities to address today’s most pressing nutrition problems. By supporting people to become healthy and stay healthy, we enable lifelong well-being for individuals and grow lasting prosperity for society. Thanks to our industry-leading capabilities in nutrition, we’re developing solutions like micronutrient powders, public health supplements and staple food fortification, by adding vitamins and minerals to foods such as flour, oil and rice. With the help of government agencies, nongovernmental organisations and the private sector, we aim to bring these solutions to 1 billion people by 2030 – helping address the problems of hidden hunger and micronutrient deficiency.
