The Ndunakazi project (named for the province of Kwazulu-Natal in South Africawhere it took place) sought to improve the vitamin A status of children through the cultivation and consumption of vegetables and fruits rich in provitamin A. The consumption of the vegetables introduced by the project has greatly improved the vitamin A status of the Ndunakazi people: About 85% of their intake of vitamin A comes from the new crops. A further positive impact has been the contribution of the vegetables to the intake of calcium and iron and, to a lesser extent, of magnesium, vitamin C, and riboflavin.Dr. Mahesh Gaur is a Senior Scientist at the ICAR-Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur, India.
