This can help to address the problem of hidden hunger, which is a lack of essential vitamins and minerals in the diet that can lead to a variety of health problems, including anemia, impaired cognitive development, and increased risk of infection.<\/p>\n<p>Food fortification is a cost-effective and sustainable way to improve nutrition and public health. It is also a safe and effective way to deliver essential nutrients to people who may not be getting enough of them from their diet alone.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a) Obesity is a problem that can be caused by a number of factors, including diet, exercise, and genetics. Food fortification is not a specific strategy for addressing obesity.<\/li>\n<li>c) Food wastage is a problem that occurs when food is not consumed or used. Food fortification does not address the issue of food wastage.<\/li>\n<li>d) Seasonal food shortages are a problem that can occur in some parts of the world, especially in developing countries.
