Across the globe, micronutrient deficiencies in soil and crops have become a concern, impacting crop yields and quality. Many countries are witnessing multi-micronutrient deficiencies — dominated by zinc and boron - followed by iron, manganese, copper, etc.

But it doesn’t stop there! Micronutrient malnutrition also affects human beings, causing serious health problems. Intensified agricultural practices, imbalanced fertilizer application, nutrient depletion, and lack of replenishment contribute to this problem. While progress has been made on the policy front, much more must be done to address the challenges effectively.

The Global Micronutrient Summit 2.0 aims to do the same and goes beyond just soil and crops. During the Summit, experts will delve into the intricate connections between soil, crops, and human well-being, exploring how micronutrients like zinc and iron play a vital role in combating micronutrient malnutrition.
