#ZeroHiddenHungerEU kicks off its 3rd Annual Meeting at DTU 🇩🇰
At the project’s halfway point, partners are aligning on first results across four pillars:
🔬 Micronutrient deficiencies
🌾 Sustainable diets
🧪 Data-driven solutions
📊 Policy & implementation
🌍 Stay tuned: www.zerohiddenhunger.eu
How can food diversity translate into adequate #micronutrient intake? 🥣
In the #ZeroHiddenHungerEU interview series, Igor Spiroski discusses nutrition challenges in North Macedonia, highlighting food prices, export dynamics, and the need for cross-sector collaboration.

In the #ZeroHiddenHungerEU expert series, Jutta Dierkes, Professor of Clinical Nutrition at the University of Bergen, highlights the need for clear and trustworthy information to improve public awareness.
📺 Watch the interview below.
🥦 What are the #micronutrient implications of reducing or removing meat from the diet?
#ZeroHiddenHungerEU explores how well-planned plant-forward diets can support micronutrient adequacy during dietary transitions.

🧓🏼 As Europe’s population ages, tackling #Micronutrient deficiencies is a growing public health priority.
Physiological changes, social factors & medication interactions can affect nutrient status, with important health implications.

🌍 #Micronutrient deficiencies persist across Europe despite abundant food supplies. 🇪🇺
A new #ZeroHiddenHungerEU policy review examines the scale of the challenge, gaps in fortification & outlines a roadmap for coordinated EU action.

🌍 Over 2 billion people are affected by micronutrient deficiencies, yet they often remain invisible.
🔬 A new article from #ZeroHiddenHungerEU explores why measuring them is more complex than it seems & why it matters for nutrition policy & public health.

How do experts decide how much protein, vitamins & minerals we need?
Across Europe, this is guided by Dietary Reference Values (DRVs): science-based benchmarks informing food policy, labelling & dietary advice.
🔎 Learn how #DRVs are developed & used in practice in this #ZeroHiddenHungerEU article.
#DidYouKnow that 20% of Europeans aged 65+ may face #MicronutrientDeficiency, even with a balanced diet? 🥗
Age-related changes in appetite & nutrient absorption can make adequate intake harder.
Learn more about the causes, challenges and how the #ZeroHiddenHungerEU project is addressing them. ⬇️
The health impacts of #MicronutrientDeficiencies are well documented, but what about their economic impact?
Deficiencies in iron, vitamin D & calcium quietly affect EU productivity, healthcare costs and quality of life.
The #ZeroHiddenHungerEU project is helping put numbers on these costs. ⬇️
