Small-Scale Fortification, Innovative technology for the developing world

Small-Scale Fortification, Innovative technology for the developing world

AXION

Approximately one billion people are vitamin and mineral deficient because of lack of access to centrally processed foods, eliminating the opportunity to consume fortified foods. Project Healthy Children (PHC) hopes to develop the technology to fortify foods for these vulnerable populations. Historically, small-scale fortification efforts have been limited by expense and imprecision, preventing the most vulnerable populations from accessing the benefits of additional vitamins and minerals added to staple food products. For example, a micronutrient fortification device currently being piloted in Nepal costs over $900USD and requires daily, manual monitoring. The innovation: a simple device for small-scale electric millers to weigh and proportionately dispense nutrients into grain that is affordable, effective and accurate. Based on existing work with Stanford University, PHC believes a device can be developed for as little as $100USD that uses a unique design sensitive to the millers' established daily routine and is conveniently added to the milling process.
