"One of the biggest problems in the world right now is that we produce a lot of calories. We produce a lot of starchy staple crops, whether it's rice or wheat or maize. And while that keeps people full and fed, and most of the world really depends on those starch staple crops to survive, we're not investing as much in the production of fruits and vegetables. Those are the things that contain those essential micronutrients."
