Articles exploring food production, preparation, agriculture and evidence-informed questions about what reaches our plates.
Moringa seeds can make muddy water look remarkably clear—but clarification is not the same as disinfection. We examine the science, the safety limits and what Excell Africa Farms can test next.
Can tank-based shrimp farming work on an inland Nigerian farm? We examine species, water, aeration, realistic costs and the proposed Excell Africa pilot.
Palm oil is part of many African food traditions. Rather than branding it good or bad, look at saturated fat, quantity, frequency and the composition of the whole meal.
African food traditions include a rich diversity of leafy vegetables. Moringa, bitter leaf, scent leaf, amaranth and ewedu remind us that nutrition and food enterprise can begin with crops already adapted to local kitchens.
