As agricultural productivity falls, so too does consumption.
This blog highlights research findings that empirically demonstrate that climate-induced declines in agricultural productivity can lead to lower height- and weight-for-age and a higher prevalence of #stunting in #Nigeria.

Reduced own-produced food consumption is the primary mechanism through which climate affects #child nutritional outcomes, leading to an increased prevalence of #stunting.
