As part of Ghana’s Heritage Month celebrations, the vibrant Gobe Fest and Back to Your Village Food Festival brought together culture, food, health, and meaningful conversations on the future of our food systems. 🇬🇭🌾
In these special gatherings, Dr Mary Anne Zuolo, a Gynaecologist, spoke on the importance of nutrition and healthy living, while Madam Regina Ofori of Ecobank emphasised the need for stronger private-sector investment in food systems transformation.
Dr. David Fletcher and Daniel Banuoku also shared powerful insights on promoting agroecology and preserving a sacred relationship with food — reminding us that food is not only nourishment, but also culture, heritage, community, and sustainability.
Adding to the conversation, Alfred Ocansey, Head of the Political Desk at TV3, highlighted the critical connection between nutrition, public policy, and national development. He emphasized the important role food festivals play in strengthening local food systems by creating awareness around indigenous foods, supporting local farmers and food entrepreneurs, preserving cultural identity, and influencing policy conversations on food sovereignty and healthy diets.
As we mark World Nutrition Day, we celebrate the value of nutritious local foods, sustainable agricultural practices, and collective action toward healthier communities and a stronger Ghana.
