What does our food reveal about the land beneath our feet, its history, e& who captures the value? Africa has never lacked land, farmers or agricultural intelligence. The deeper challenge has been transforming that knowledge & natural wealth into value. substack.com/@deldeyochdutchโ€ฆ

I have seen firsthand that Africaโ€™s challenge is not potential, it is narrative, mindset & capital. The UNโ€™s move toward a more accurate world map reinforces that representation shapes perception, perception shapes investment, policy, & opportunity. #Africa #StrategicGrowth
The world map you've known all your life is wrong! Nearly every country at the UN voted to adopt a new map that shows a more accurate size of Africa after ~500 years of "symbolic minimization." Only the US voted against it. I explained why this is important on CNN

Iโ€™d boldly say Ethiopia ranks among the top 10 vegan food destinations in the world, & likely top 3 in Africa. Ethiopian culinary traditions offer naturally healthy methods for cooking, preserving, fermenting, & scaling plant-based staples. #Cuisine #Vegan #Wellness #EatToLive
Ethiopia ranked 37th in Travel And Tour World's Top 50 Food Destinations for 2026, recognised for its cuisine, coffee culture and culinary heritage. Read More: birrmetrics.com/ethiopia-ranโ€ฆ

I love Desta Keremela with komtate(Lemon), now thats a keremt(rainy season) desert.. I challenge restaurant owners & cafe SME, to bring life to African deserts into their menus with finesse, instead of just copy pasting imported ones.. #Childhood #Africa #Ethiopia #MSME
