On the Cover
Worldwide, stunted growth affects an estimated 165 million children under age 5. Reducing stunting is a global priority for international health organizations and donors, but it’s clear that nutritional interventions alone won’t get the job done. That’s because stunting isn’t just a nutritional problem; it’s also an environmental one.
