Chancen für einen Ausstieg aus dem Hungerkarussell? Hinter jedem an Hunger sterbenden Kind stehen zehn weitere, die chronisch unterernährt sind. Sie leiden an verborgenem Hunger. Er zwingt vor allem Mütter und Kinder in ein Hungerkarussell, aus dem es oftmals keinen Ausstieg mehr gibt. Satt sein ist nicht genug. Die Schale Reis oder Mais reicht nicht aus, die vielfältigen Bedürfnisse des menschlichen Organismus, vor allem heranwachsender Kinder, zu sichern. Es ist der verborgene Hunger, der die geistigen und körperlichen Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten der Kinder einschränkt oder beschneidet. Bisher wird dieser Hidden Hunger, die unzureichende und damit chronische Mangelernährung, kaum wahrgenommen. In einer ausgewogenen Ernährung sollten alle essenziellen Nährstoffe, also nicht nur Energie, enthalten sein. Entscheidend für eine gesunde Entwicklung ist die ausreichende Versorgung mit allen lebenswichtigen Mikronährstoffen wie Vitaminen, Mineralien und Spurenelementen. Armut ist der wesentliche Grund für diese chronische Mangelernährung und die Ursache für die einseitige Nahrungsmittelversorgung. Preisschwankungen für Grundnahrungsmittel, wie für Reis, Weizen und Mais, verschlechtern die Versorgung. Die Kosten für Lebensmittel erhöhen sich zudem durch die unkritische Verwendung dieser Grundnahrungsmittel als Rohstoffe für die Herstellung von Bioethanol oder Biodiesel. Nicht zuletzt tragen der Klimawandel und die daraus resultierenden Missernten zu einer Verschärfung der Situation bei. Verschiedene Lösungsvorschläge, wie Bioanreicherung, genetische Verfahren und Förderung der kleinen Landwirte werden auf ihre Nachhaltigkeit hin diskutiert. Als oberstes Ziel gilt es, die Armut zu beseitigen und so den vor allem auf dem Land lebenden Menschen wieder eine Perspektive zu geben.

Hidden Hunger is an increasing problem even in developed countries, whose potential negative consequences on long-term health are often overlooked and underestimated. Chronic malnutrition is at the core of the global hunger challenge facing science, politics, and economics. In plain language and with moving examples, Hans K. Biesalski describes how hidden hunger affects human health long before malnutrition becomes obvious. Worldwide, over one third of deaths among children under 5 years of age is associated with malnutrition. As poverty is the main reason for hidden hunger, addressing this dire challenge requires long-term policies. Land grabbing and climate change seriously counteract a lot of efforts to overcome hidden hunger. This book is a highly impressive call to action. Investment in agriculture and in particular in small-scale farmers to improve subsistence farming are among the approaches suggested to reach a sustainable solution. The author is head of the department of biochemistry and nutrition and managing director of the Food Security Center at the University of Hohenheim, Germany. He is a member of numerous advisory and expert groups for the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition.

Hidden hunger is not about providing enough calories, it is about a lack of micronutrients, which has life-long consequences for the children who are mostly affected. This begins with physical and cognitive developmental disorders and continues with an increased risk of non-communicable diseases and the occurrence of obesity. The book compiles the contributions of the Fourth Congress on Hidden Hunger 2019 as original articles. The focus of the congress was the problem of malnutrition and overweight, which can coexist and is termed a “double burden”. Part of the book deals with the causes of malnutrition and the challenge of achieving an agricultural system that is more focused on food quality. Another part discusses the causes and intervention approaches to tackling childhood obesity, especially in connection with malnutrition. All in all, this publication is a summary of important work by highly renowned authors on the topic of the congress: “Hidden Hunger and the Transformation of Food Systems: How to Combat the Double Burden of Malnutrition?” Like its two predecessors, the book fills an important gap by summarizing the essential aspects for science, applied research, and politics at a high level.

Quatrième de couverture : "L'alimentation nous concerne tous et est de plus en plus au coeur des préoccupations de chacun. Quelle quantité de sucre est préjudiciable ? L'alimentation végétalienne est-elle saine ? Comment le corps synthétise-t-il la vitamine D ? Quelles substances se cachent dans nos denrées alimentaires ? Quel type d'alimentation est à recommander chez une femme enceinte, un enfant, un sportif ou une personne âgée ? Autant de questions auxquelles l'Atlas de poche de nutrition répondra clairement, que ce soit pour apprendre les bases ou rechercher rapidement des éléments précis. Cette nouvelle édition, largement mise à jour, expose en trois parties les connaissances indispensables pour une alimentation sensée : - les bases générales présentent la composition corporelle et le métabolisme énergétique ; - ensuite, les nutriments sont passés en revue depuis leur synthèse, leur distribution et les besoins, jusqu'à leurs mécanismes d'action, ainsi que leur importance pour l'organisme humain ; - enfin, les aspects pratiques abordent les questions de la sécurité et de la qualité alimentaires, de l'alimentation selon les états physiologiques, des différents régimes alimentaires et de la médecine nutritionnelle. Grâce à sa présentation en doubles pages texte-image qui facilite la consultation, cet ouvrage constitue un partenaire idéal pour tous les étudiants en médecine, les médecins praticiens et nutritionnistes."

This book is the first of its kind to tackle in detail the nutritional requirements of the industrialized, so-called developed world. It discusses the link between socio-economic status and food security, focusing especially on the relationship between income and food security in different age groups. The authors calculate the actual levels of essential micronutrients delivered by current dietary patterns, identifying important shortfalls in the provision of key micronutrients, and elucidate the public health consequences of nutrition insecurity. Finally, the authors discuss future approaches for ensuring nutrition security on the basis of three pillars: access, availability and nutritional value. The approaches advocated in this ground-breaking publication will allow all people, irrespective of age and social status, to have access to a safe and nutritious diet. Key stakeholders such as legislators, government, academia and industry, as well as consumers themselves, all have important roles to play in making this a reality.
