Whilst the long-term effects of being exposed to rainfall shocks early in life on school-achievement tests are well-established, there is little population-based evidence from LMICs on the mechanisms through which these shocks operate. Executive functions (EFs) are key for children’s learning […]

However, rising temperatures, increasingly volatile rainfall patterns, and the proliferation of pests and diseases make organic […]
