Abstract
Micronutrient deficiencies in human nutrition, especially of iron and zinc, occur often in

marginal mountain regions. The main cause is poverty, resulting in low nutrient diets. Poor

nutrition is one of the main causes of major health problems, especially among children.

However, micronutrient deficiencies are also widespread in the farming systems of the

mountains, leading to depressed crop yields, and reduced nutrition quality of staple crops.

Balanced crop nutrition can at the same time improve crop yields, economy and nutritional

quality. Micronutrient disorders is a peculiar and complicated set of problems, and dealing

with it requires strategies which take into consideration a range of problems regarding

farming systems, knowledge, extension service, technology transfer and economics. The

paper presents a discussion of different strategies.
