In his talk, von Braun pointed out that micro-nutrient deficiencies, called "hidden hunger", affect 2 billion people worldwide. He stressed that hidden hunger is not just a public health, food, and agriculture issue. Its root causes are complex problems of policy and market failures. These failures must be addressed by public policy, communications, and civil society movements.
