The authors reflect on the Nutrition for Growth event co-hosted by the Governments of Great Britain and Brazil and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) on June 8, 2013 in both the countries. They inform that malnutrition significantly impairs health and reduces life expectancy. They also inform that the complexity of undernutrition and its lifelong consequences have made it difficult to make rapid improvements to reduce the effects of this problem.
