Malnutrition

Malnutrition occurs when the body doesn't get the right nutrients, leading to health issues. It's a major global health risk, especially in developing countries where deficiencies in iron, vitamin A, and zinc are common. Extreme malnutrition can cause marasmus, characterized by wasting, or kwashiorkor, marked by bloating. Addressing malnutrition sustainably and fairly is a significant global challenge as the population grows.
