Mercy Lung\u2019aho, une K\u00e9nyane, est actuellement responsable des biomarqueurs et de l'anthropom\u00e9trie pour l'enqu\u00eate nationale nig\u00e9riane sur la consommation alimentaire et les micronutriments. C'est une nutritionniste et une scientifique sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e en recherche en sciences alimentaires, experte en programmation agricole sensible \u00e0 la nutrition. Forte de dix ans d'exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 travers l'Afrique, ses recherches comprennent une \u00e9tude historique documentant des preuves que la consommation de haricots biofortifi\u00e9s en fer peut r\u00e9duire la carence en fer chez les femmes en \u00e2ge de procr\u00e9er, am\u00e9liorant ainsi leurs performances au travail et leurs fonctions cognitives. Elle plaide pour une plus grande attention \u00e0 la nutrition dans le domaine de l'agriculture, trop souvent s\u00e9par\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
