Nutrition is low cost and very high impact Copenhagen Consensus TOP FIVE SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL POVERTY CHALLENGE 1 Micronutrient supplements for children Malnutrition 2 The Doha development agenda Trade 3 Micronutrient fortification 4 Expanded immunization coverage for children 5 Biofortification Malnutrition Diseases Malnutrition
