Hidden hunger is one of Ghana’s most silent nutrition challenges. You can have a full plate… and still not get the nutrients your body needs.
In Ghana, micronutrient deficiencies affect millions, especially children, adolescent girls, and pregnant women. Iron, vitamin A, zinc, and iodine remain the biggest gaps, quietly affecting growth, learning, immunity, and long-term health.
This month, as we explore Nutrition in Ghana, we’re bringing attention to the kind of hunger we often don’t see and the practical, affordable ways households can prevent it.
Because food should do more than fill us. It should nourish us. 🧡
#WorldDiabetesDay Behind every diabetes statistic is a real story, a parent, a student, a colleague, or a neighbour. On World Diabetes Day, we highlight the importance of timely testing, balanced nutrition, and lifestyle changes that protect our communities.
Small decisions today reduce bigger risks tomorrow. Let’s stay informed, stay screened, and support one another toward a diabetes-free Ghana. 🧡
Nutrition in Ghana isn’t the same everywhere. Children born in some regions are up to three times more likely to face stunting or anaemia than those in others.
Northern, Upper East, and Upper West regions remain the most affected, where poverty, food insecurity, and limited dietary diversity meet. Meanwhile, urban areas like Greater Accra show improved nutrition but rising obesity rates.
Every region tells a different story, together, they form the picture of Ghana’s nutrition journey. 🧡
Nutrition is the foundation of every nation’s health. Ghana has made strong progressn but millions are still left behind.
Today, about 17% of Ghanaian children under five are stunted. Many families face micronutrient deficiencies, while others struggle with overweight and poor dietary diversity. This is what experts call the triple burden of malnutrition, and it demands collective action.
From our homes to our schools, from market stalls to ministries, we all have a role in making nutrition accessible, affordable, and understood. When nutrition thrives, everything else follows, health, learning, and national growth. 🧡
We don’t just lose food — we lose the stories, the sweat, and the hope behind every meal.
Today, on World Food Day, we reflect on a truth we often ignore: Millions of people still go hungry — not because food doesn’t exist, but because systems fail to get it to those who need it most.
Food is more than what we eat. It’s the farmer’s early morning under the sun, the market woman’s daily hustle, and the child’s full stomach that fuels learning and growth.
At SNACK Ghana, we believe that ending hunger isn’t just about feeding mouths — it’s about fixing systems. » Empowering local farmers. » Reducing food loss and waste. » Promoting nutrition awareness. » Advocating for policies that make healthy food accessible to all.
Let’s build a future where no Ghanaian goes to bed hungry, and no grain of effort is lost. Because a just food system feeds both people and possibilities.
The root we often overlook is the one quietly keeping us strong. This week’s Nutrition Spotlight shines on cocoyam — rich in nutrients, full of fiber, and surprisingly gentle on your body. A true example of how traditional foods hold modern health benefits. 🧡

Before it became food, it was history — planted, traded, and preserved across generations.
From the farmlands of the north to the kitchens of the coast, every Ghanaian staple carries the imprint of time — resilience, culture, and adaptation woven into every grain and root.
This October, we explore how Ghana’s food story evolved from ancient traditions to modern plates — a reminder that our meals are more than nourishment; they’re a living archive. 🧡
This month at SNACK, we’re diving into a universal theme: Food, Generally Food.
Food is culture, identity, health, economy, and survival — yet it’s also at the heart of many challenges we face as communities. Together, let’s unpack its meaning, value, and impact all month long.
Are you ready? Stay tuned for 20 days of inspiring, educational, and fun content!🧡
Partnerships create impact. With Agromyx by our side, today’s outreach went beyond awareness — it showed the power of collaboration between NGOs, academia, and industry in tackling food loss and waste. 🧡🫒
