Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia remains a major global health problem, with a prevalence reaching 40% among children aged 6–59 months, 37% among pregnant women, and 30% among women of reproductive age. Low iron bioavailability is a key limiting factor affecting the effectiveness of nutritional interventions. This review aimed to analyze various in vivo methods used to evaluate iron bioavailability from food sources and to assess the effectiveness of fortification, biofortification, and food processing modifications. A narrative review approach was conducted through literature searches in Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Wiley, MDPI, and Garuda databases for original research articles published between January 2016 and March 2026, with March 2026 as the search cutoff to ensure inclusion of fully indexed publications only. Of the 24 identified articles, 8 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that in vivo studies employed various parameters, including hemoglobin regeneration efficiency, relative biological value, fractional iron absorption, hemoglobin concentration, serum ferritin, and organ iron retention. Notably, iron bioavailability was not always proportional to total iron content in food, as biofortification and fermentation strategies improved physiological iron utilization primarily by reducing inhibitory compounds such as phytate, rather than by increasing total iron content. Food matrix, chemical form of iron, and physiological status of subjects were identified as the most critical determinants of iron absorption effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Sustainability Principle 2 in vegetable production systems by synthesizing recent scientific literature. The review focus on resource-efficient and beneficial agricultural practices that support sustainable vegetable cultivation. A literature narrative review method was used to analyze studies published between 2016 and 2026 on vegetable production practices aligned with Sustainability Principle 2. The analysis synthesizes findings across key themes, including soil health and fertility, water and nitrogen use efficiency, chemical inputs, energy use, and sustainable cultivation practices such as crop rotation, agroforestry, and the adoption of green technologies. The findings imply that traditional vegetable production methods frequently rely heavily on the use of energy, water, fertilizer, and pesticides. Environmental problems like greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient losses, soil degradation, and water pollution can result from this reliance. Nonetheless, a number of different strategies show encouraging promises for enhancing sustainability. For instance, it has been demonstrated that organic farming practices enhance soil quality and boost soil carbon sequestration. Furthermore, hydroponic systems enable more accurate control over the use of nutrients and water. Additionally, decrease reliance on synthetic agrochemicals while preserving production efficiency can be achieved by applying ecological technologies and improving input management techniques.
