Nutrition in poor areas.

Challenge    In the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, is the Mixteca region, an area of great poverty. Poverty has

caused many children to be malnourished, the challenge is to bring low-priced nutrition to these

areas, where most are under-resourced or their food is surrounded by junk food.    Selection    I decided to select the visualization tool, this to understand with a group of subject matter

experts what had to be solved. In addition, we should look at the different types of malnourished

children in the region, and this tool was the most suitable to open up an overview of the

problem.     Application    It worked with 5 people, each poured their opinions regarding the different types of children with

poor nutrition, It was established that in the region are mainly two types of children with poor

diet. On the one hand, children who have little money and eat 1 time a day and on the other

hand children whose families have money but at the time of buying food usually buy processed

foods without any nutritional value.    After the previous analysis it is determined that the team focuses on the group of families who

have money but buy food with little nutritional value. The first group of children who eat once a

day was analyzed to be a group that is served by the current government of Mexico, so it was a

group already in attention.    It started by analyzing with the visualization tool, we first draw each team member the image of

a child adding the food they eat daily. Another drawing established the group of nutrients

provided by this feed. With this, their diet was found to be full of sugar, to such an extent that in

the future likelihood of developing diabetes is high. This is to consume a lot of sugar in milk,

treats, processed foods etc.    It was also reached in the brainstorming part, where it was concluded that bringing

amaranth-based products to these areas would partly solve the nutrient deficiency and disease

prevention.    Insight  Design thinking has been a rediscovery in the way I develop projects of all kinds in my life. It's

one of the fastest ways to visualize problems and come up with a solution. Especially in these

times where the world changes drastically from month to month.

Approach    One of the best feedback I had in the elaboration of this challenge was that perhaps the mind

map tool would have served me more for the specific analysis of the children whose families

have money but the food they consume is of little nutritional lor. And on another occasion,

combining tools may give a better picture of the problem and a faster and more appropriate

solution.
