Concern Worldwide Zambia therefor commissioned Dr Anne-Marie Mayer to carry out an initial study on the potential nutritional impacts of CA amongst practicing CA farmers in Zambia. Report attached. Please let me know if you are aware of any research on CA and human nutrition, particularly soil-plant-human nutrient flows and mycotoxins risks .
