Introduction
My research focus is on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 aims to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030. The triple burden of malnutrition – undernutrition, hidden hunger and overweight – threatens the survival, growth and development of children and young people. My contributions to this goal are through sound application of science and technology principles to processing and distribution of wholesome and health-promoting foods.
