Malnutrition and hunger have
been reported as the greatest
single threat to world public
health by WHO. This is widely
prevalent over all the continents
especially in the developing
countries. India has been ranked
as one of the countries facing high
rates of malnutrition. This
pressing issue has not been given
adequate attention and here is a
solution currently followed in
Africa where hunger and
malnutrition is a huge problem to
the millions of citizens.
More than 3 million children in
Africa suffer from blindness
caused by vitamin A deficiency; in
Uganda, it is estimated that 28%
of children are deficient.
Currently aid agencies combat
this problem by giving children
vitamin A supplements, but
addressing this issue with a
locally grown food would be more
sustainable.
Hence, they came up with the idea
of breeding sweet potatoes to
contain beta-carotene, to help in
the fight against childhood
blindness. The human body
converts beta-carotene
into vitamin A (retinol) - beta
carotene is a precursor of vitamin
A. We need vitamin A for healthy
skin and mucus membranes, our
immune system, and good eye
health and vision.
A new strain of sweet potato was
conventionally bred which contains
between four and six times as much
beta-carotene as a regular sweet
potato. The OSP (orange sweet
potato) was distributed to 10,000
farming households in Uganda; at
the end of the two-year study
