Fighting Malnutrition: ADM’s Ongoing Commitment to Food Fortification

ADM Cares, the corporate social investment program of global leader ADM, continues to play a pivotal role in addressing malnutrition and hidden hunger worldwide. In partnership with the Food Fortification Initiative (FFI), ADM Cares is helping to improve the nutritional quality of staple foods for 1 billion people across 26 countries. By adding essential vitamins and minerals to everyday foods, this initiative combats the widespread effects of malnutrition, particularly among preschool-aged children and women of reproductive age. Hidden hunger often leads to severe developmental challenges and increased vulnerability to diseases, but with ADM’s continued support, the partnership is driving significant improvements in public health, especially in regions where access to proper nutrition is limited.

This ongoing collaboration exemplifies ADM’s commitment to using its resources and expertise for the greater good. As part of its mission to enhance global nutrition, ADM is directly contributing to the fight against birth defects, like spina bifida, through the fortification of flour and rice with crucial nutrients like folic acid, iron, and zinc. With food fortification a proven, cost-effective solution, ADM’s contribution not only supports the FFI’s goal of reducing hidden hunger but also strengthens the communities where ADM operates. By empowering initiatives that improve health outcomes and alleviate the global burden of malnutrition, ADM Cares continues to make a meaningful impact in creating a healthier, more sustainable world for future generations.
