This paper reviews evidence addressing four questions pertinent to the understanding of the economic returns to investing in nutrition: (a) Where are the promising areas of interface between economics and nutrition? (b) What is the contribution of income growth to improving nutrition? (c) Is adult chronic disease being given too little consideration in nutrition programs? (d) More generally, are we using the right outcome measures to assess nutrition interventions?
