GHANA 2024. Chef Binta and FAO empowering women farmers through fonio cultivation, processing, and selling
20 August 2024. Chereponi, North-East Region, Ghana. Comfort Kwabena-Kan, also known as "Ma Fonio," demonstrates how fonio is processed. Pounding fonio is a slow, labor-intensive process. Mechanization is crucial to increasing production and promoting the wider use of fonio grain as a food source.

Background Information
The FAO visited Cheriponi, northern Ghana, to explore fonio, a resilient crop that thrives in arid regions, while emphasizing the importance of food as a basic human right.
Chef Binta, born and raised in Sierra Leone and now based in Accra, Ghana, draws her culinary inspiration from the family and community cooking traditions of the Fulani people. In 2022, she became the first African to win the Basque Culinary World Prize. She is using the prize money to establish the Fulani Kitchen Foundation, which supports women farmers by promoting the cultivation of fonio, a type of millet, as a supplementary source of income. With support from the FAO, Binta is improving the livelihoods of local women by training around 100 fonio farmers in good agricultural practices and addressing challenges like low yields.
