Usha Ramakrishnan's lecture provides a compelling look at the impact of environmental exposures on child growth and development, going beyond the traditional focus on nutrition. Targeted interventions, including optimal nutrition, clean air, and nurturing care, can mitigate these risks. While some interventions, like exclusive breastfeeding, have clear benefits, others, like improved WASH conditions, show inconsistent effects on growth outcomes, highlighting the need for integrated strategies.
