Soil and landscape factors influence geospatial variation in maize grain zinc concentration in Malawi (2022)
Journal Article

Dietary zinc (Zn) deficiency is widespread globally, and in particular among people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In Malawi, dietary sources of Zn are dominated by maize and spatially dependent variation in grain Zn concentration, which will affect di...
