This issue of the The Nest looks at the consequences of under- and over nutrition in early childhood through three articles by leading experts: Zulfiqar A. Bhutta and Zohra Lassi look at under- and overnutrition in the first thousand days of live and the importance of the problem and interventions. Patrick Detzel presents the economic rationale for micronutrient fortification as a means to improve health and, in turn, economic and social development. Finally, Bo Lönnerdal and Olle Hernell look at the impact of under- and overnutrition 
of iron in infancy and early childhood.
