Abstract

Hidden hunger is the inadequate access to micronutrients that are necessary for a healthy and functional body. This is a form of hunger that is not very visible and much more than an empty stomach. Micronutrients are essential vitamins and minerals that we need in small quantities for effective growth and development of the body. Micronutrient deficiencies are caused by poor diet and inadequate micronutrient supply during certain stages in life. The study considered the micronutrient status of a province of Nigerian, the effects of its deficiency and the agricultural and economic solutions. Being a review research, secondary data were used where necessary. The study showed that Nigerians and the province in particular are very hungry with significant evidences of hidden hunger. Agricultural solutions were recommended through biofortification of crops and external economic interventions to assist the people produce their own foods and access them where necessary.
