Food Fluency

Some learn to grow together yet apart 🌱

Amazing news! Not surprised to see Hawa bringing Women in Agriculture for Sustainable Development to new heights- doing the hard work to make new partnerships and bringing in more resources to support the goals crucial for Liberian women and communities 💚

From seed to cabbage to kraut 🌱🥬💚🌸

It’s year one with my own garden and I did a lot of things wrong. This sauerkraut tastes extra delicious because back in the spring the cabbage seeds were nearly the only ones to make it to outdoor planting. So rewarding to have nourished them all the way through to this point when they can return the favor. Now onto pickling the million cucumbers this rainy summer has produced!!

Thank you Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders for sharing our story. Organizations looking to explore nutrition-sensitive agriculture can download their free version of the Food Fluency core curriculum at www.foodfluency.org and I look forward to connecting with anyone interested.

This spring, Hawa Dunor-Varney collaborated with Michelle Gilman of Massachusetts to implement nutrition workshops across rural B**g County, Liberia. Learn how they’re collaborating with local farmers to combat malnutrition: https://mwfellows.info/3BXl2I2

Feeling grateful to the team and students from the Emmanuel Business Collaborative for all their hard work on Food Fluency as a live case study! Accounting students at spent the semester researching relevant grants, business structures, and pricing model options for our path forward. This has been crucial as a that doesn’t come from the business world.

These photos are from my visit this week to watch their final presentations and recommendations. Lots of inspiration to sprout from!!
