Abstract:

The number of people in Africa who are under-nourished has doubled in the last 30 years, and is currently estimated to be around 200 million people. Pool nutrition has a devastating effect, particularly on children; without the necessary nutrients for good growth they suffer poor brain development and as adults may lack stamina to work.
