What does it really mean to improve a food system?
It is not only about what gets produced. It is about whether people can access food that is safe, nutritious, affordable and good for their health.
This week, we are celebrating Michael Ojo, Country Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), Nigeria, as our Changemaker of the Week and recognising him as an Advocate for Improved Food Systems.
Through his work at GAIN, Michael has been at the forefront of efforts to make healthier and sustainable food choices more accessible, while supporting stronger food value chains, food fortification, better diets for children and solutions that can reduce food loss.
His work also highlights something important: transforming food systems cannot be achieved by one sector alone. It requires government, businesses, communities, development organisations and other stakeholders working together to turn ideas into systems that work better for people.
From strengthening nutritious food value chains to supporting conversations around climate resilience, nutrition and the role of women in transforming food systems, his work continues to contribute to a healthier and more sustainable food future for Nigeria.
Michael, we celebrate the work you are doing to move the conversation from simply feeding people to creating food systems that nourish people.
Congratulations on being our Changemaker of the Week!
