#FoodFortification
If you remove my wife from my life this past 72 hours, I fit kpeme.
We have been moving houses and everywhere is so scattered like mad but once I ask “where is my blue boxers with duduke painting”, she will go straight to the point. “Uhmmmn, it should be in the yellow bag beside the bed”. What of my green comb with black tattoo? “It is inside the black box on the shelf”.
Women actually own the home. I feel like an alien. With how scattered and overwhelming my life is, she still has every detail in her head. Obirin 🙌
🎯 If it isn’t safe, it isn’t food.
Food security isn't just about quantity; it's about quality. Unsafe food directly harms public health and wastes the water, energy, & land used to produce it.
At GAIN, food safety is foundational to every programme we design.

New study: Delivering BEP supplements at scale requires more than policy. It requires strong systems, local production, and community engagement.

Most systems call them both "healthy," but the Nutritional Value Score (NVS) closes that gap.
Published in The Journal of Nutrition by GAIN researchers, the NVS is a new open-access tool designed for the real world.
