Welthungerhilfe (2025) Leveraging Opportunity Crops to Address Micronutrient Gaps and Strengthen Food System Resilience. Scoping Review
This report presents an in-depth, quantitative analysis of how scaling 20 opportunity crops can reduce nutrient inadequacies in 41 countries with serious hunger levels. Using national nutrient data, production scenarios, and policy reviews, it offers evidence that these crops—often indigenous and climate-resilient—can enhance dietary quality, empower women, and build food system resilience. By investing in opportunity crops and integrating them into policy, trade, and development agendas, we can make meaningful strides toward ending hidden hunger.
