In Ghana, Dr. Kwesi Agwani is passing it on with a grateful heart! “It” in this case is help for humanity.
Kind benefactors including John Hammond and Harry Inman supported Dr. Agwani as he worked through Master and PhD programs.
In the United Kingdom, Mr. Hammond had a breadfruit dream, and he asked Dr. Agwani to carry it out in Ghana.
Accordingly, in his graduate school project, he helped farmers grow breadfruit.
Now, as he has for the past decade, Dr. Agwani works for the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. His dedication to breadfruit is unwavering.
After John Hammond passed away, his family founded an NGO in his memory called Breadfruit Line. John’s son, Robert Hammond, began working with Dr. Agwani on new planting projects.
Though Rob passed away in 2022, Dr. Kwesi Agwani continues the family’s mission with passion.
He has helped introduce breadfruit to the palate of Ghanaians by organizing numerous food demonstrations. At markets, people are shown how breadfruit can be prepared steamed, mashed, or even as chips! In all ways, breadfruit is being well accepted.
The next step, Dr. Agwani says, is to use breadfruit to feed the children of Ghana!
I am so proud of you Dr Kwesi. I remember you sharing this idea with me back in university days. You have stood the test of time and your resilience has brought you this far. Keep soaring
Dr Kwesi Angwani thanks for your passion and hard work for breadfruit. We have the palate for breadfruit
Job well done Dr. Agwani. Your legacy will live on through all the days of time. I will be traveling to Ghana this October. I would love to meet you.
You are most welcome, Kathy.
I am so proud of you Dr Kwesi. Your role to reduce food insecurity especially that of our children, is honorable. Well done
Keep up the good work Dr. Agwani. This is a great way of improving to food security and creating jobs in Ghana. Together we could achieve SDGs 1&2.
Dr. Agwani is a great asset to his organization. His thirst for food sustainability is beyond measure. God bless him in folds.
My family worked directly with Dr Agwani,”Aloy”, for many years as he was the main project leader in Cape Coast for our Breadfruit Line charity project. With Aloy’s dedicated efforts, advice and project coordination, we managed to plant over 300 breadfruit trees across multiple farm sites in Cape Coast, as an alternative crop for improved food security and community health. We could not have achieved this without Aloy’s continual support.
This is a great initiative worth emulating. Thanks so much.
Doc, this is an inspiring read! Well done on your mission!
Grass cutter I have just seen this message of yours and hope you will one day get it in Uganda and we work on the replica of the project in Uganda. Well done 👏 brother
