International Congress Hidden Hunger www.hiddenhunger.uni-hohenheim.de
The First International Congress Hidden Hunger took place on
March 6-9, 2013, at the University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart,
Germany. It was organised by the Institute of Biological
Chemistry and Nutrition and the Food Security Center. The
congress had three objectives: (1.) To create awareness of the
global problem of Hidden Hunger, (2.) to get scientific issues
on the agenda of policy makers, academics, politicians and
business leaders, and (3.) to discuss solutions to address
worldwide micronutrient deficiencies. Attention was given to
Africa and Asia as well as North America and Europe. Hidden
hunger is an increasing problem even in the developed
countries, whose potential negative consequences on long-
term health are often overlooked and underestimated.
The website represents detailed information about the event
as well as the results of the presentations and discussions of
scientists from different areas, field workers, members of non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) and representatives from
administration, management and policy who were invited from
around the world.

Participants of the First International Congress Hidden
Hunger 2013 called for a better communication between
scientists, policy makers, politicians, NGOs, and local field
workers to improve knowledge about food insecurity and
hidden hunger as well as to ensure better domestic and cross-
border cooperation world-wide. Nutri-matrix.org serves as a
broad database for use in future fight against hidden hunger.
The website includes an overview of research projects,
funding offers and requests as well as collaboration and
research requests from allover the world.
Each and everyone has possibility to submit research projects,
funding offers and requests as well as collaboration and
research requests.
It offers a platform for exchange of study results, experiences,
observations, reflections and ideas.

The Food Security Center’s mission is to provide innovative
and effective scientific contributions to reduce hunger and
achieve food security (Millennium Developmental Goal 1).
Achieving this mission requires careful analysis and science-
supported identification of effective and efficient policy,
technical and institutional responses, including impact
assessment. The Food Security Center utilizes a
multidisciplinary approach through teaching, conducting
research and providing policy advice in cooperation with
national and international development organizations and
partner Higher Education Institutes in the developing world.
Research topics include food availability, food access, food
use, food quality, food safety and food utilization, giving
particular concern to gender equality, rights of women and
sustainability of agricultural production. The target groups of the
Food Security Center include people affected by hunger and/or
malnutrition or people at risk of food insecurity, decision makers
in development-oriented organizations involved in the formation
and implementation of food and agricultural related
development policies, and scientists and graduate students at
partner Higher Education Institutes.

objectives, activities, events and research results.
