Personal
I have studied food sicence and nutrition (BSc Hon) and a MSc in Poverty Reduction and Development Management. I have only just worked for Government in 4 different ministries, all to do with food and nutrition. I currently work in the Ministry of Agriculture, and my observation is that there is a disconnect between nutrition and agriculture. There are efforts in place to to address this, and I am part of the lead team.
Academic publications
I have done a few research papers but they are not published. they were intended for internal use, review of programmes, provision of evidence and to inform decisions taken and the next phases of programmes
