Here's the most puzzling Food & Health crisis that we have 👇 Although Africa hosts 8️⃣ of the 🔟 hungriest countries, a quarter of the world’s overweight children are in Africa! So, hunger & obesity can co-exist in the same community, or sometimes even in same household! 😱😱

My hobby-turned talent-turned business of video editing and voice over is now reaching high-level people that I never knew would be clients.😅 Still an amateur and still lots to learn. Just stay faithful with the little. One day I’ll be slaying giants.

At one point, I am excited that 🇺🇦, a country in conflict is still serving as the bread basket of the world🌎 On the other hand, it is saddening that my country 🇰🇪 couldnt get its agrifood systems right & is receiving aid from Ukraine 😭😭😭 How sad!

🔟 The job should be open to all: It can’t be right that there is more of an open competition to be President of Russia than the President of the @WorldBank. A closed door meeting to anoint the President looks more like the Politburo than a bastion of prosperity and democracy.

4 years ago, I wrote on on the power of school feeding to transform agrifood, health & education systems👇 businessdailyafrica.com/bd/opinion-ana demonstrates this everyday with 1M meals shared every month! This is no mean feat! Congrats & team🎉🎊

In the past year, we've moved from serving 1M meals every year to now serving over 1M meals every month. 1M meals that ensure children are able to stay in school each month. #Feedingthefuture

- there are certainly very good reasons for policy makers and practitioners to work with or support youth if they want to change food systems, but the approaches taken may not be very different when working with adults.
