but only works where the system works.
And unfortunately, in many countries in the global south, that system is either broken or nonexistent.
A farmer grows a crop like maize, a miller buys that grain, grinds it into flour, a mother buys that flour, takes it home, feeds her kid.
Bellies are full, but full bellies are not enough.
If you're only eating that, starch, which is often the case, you're literally starving from lack of nutrients.
That's why it's called hidden hunger.
It's a big one.
It affects three billion people.
And of course, kids suffer most.
Stunting, delayed brain development, lifelong deformities.
And today, unfortunately, thousands of kids will die from preventable sickness and illness.
But there is hope, and there's some incredible people working on very innovative ways to solve this problem.
This is my buddy Kurt in Guatemala.
His company, Semilla Nueva, is on the forefront of biofortification, helping farmers to grow nutritious crops from the start.
Jahil, one of my board members, based in Kenya, his company, Hello Tractor, is connecting farmers with mechanization and digital platforms, increasing yields and livelihoods.
It's like the Uber for Tractor.
Super cool.
My other buddy, Gayatri, based out of Rwanda, her company, Earth Enable, is replacing dirt floors in village homes with more sustainable materials, ensuring kids don't get sick and can actually absorb the nutrients they deserve.
Different approaches, same mission.
