Showing appreciation to the Ghanaian journalists Mahmud Mohammed-Nurudeen also @thenurudeenreport and others for covering our workshop that we hosted in July 2023 with stakeholders across Ghana’s agriculture and food system.
We translated research and knowledge for policy change and practice. With this coverage, we are trying to tell a more complex story than what big corporate food marketing and advertising will have you believe about what people want to eat and grow.
