© 2020, The Author(s). Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) in sub-Saharan African countries are related to low dietary I intake and generally combatted through salt iodisation. Agronomic biofortification of food crops may be an alternative approach. Th... Read More about Agronomic iodine biofortification of leafy vegetables grown in Vertisols, Oxisols and Alfisols.

Selenium (Se) is an essential human micronutrient. Deficiency of Se decreases the activity of selenoproteins and can compromise immune and thyroid function and cognitive development, and increase risks from non-communicable diseases. The prevalence o... Read More about The risk of selenium deficiency in Malawi is large and varies over multiple spatial scales.
