Commemorating #WorldFoodDay2024, we recognize the fundamental right to food for all and its role in shaping a better life & future. With ~100M Nigerians facing food insecurity in 2024, urgent action is needed. Investing in sustainable agriculture & reducing food waste is key.

I had the opportunity to present insights from an aspect of my doctoral research at EMCIS in Athens, Greece.

This study explores the intersection of quantified self and nutrition outcomes, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific rigour and sustained user engagement.
