In 2022, Pakistan faced devastating monsoon floods that led to the destruction of millions of acres of farmland, alongside the loss of millions of livestock, precipitating an unprecedented food crisis. This calamity left nearly 10 million children facing stunting due to inadequate nutrition, while extreme weather variations further constrained the nation's ability to produce sufficient crops. The challenge now lies in devising strategies to recover from this widespread destruction and ensuring the children of Pakistan have access to the necessary nutrients.
