Globally, 45 million children suffer from malnutrition, leading to 2.3 million child deaths
annually. But even for those who live, the experience of malnutrition can have lifelong impacts on physical and cognitive health and social-emotional development. There is a consensus on how best to address extreme malnutrition: feeding kids a standard
