Our first policy brief, Utilising Geospatial Data Analysis to Enhance School Meals and Regenerative Agriculture Interventions mapped the socio-ecological “hotspots” where key socio-ecological variables converge in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Rwanda. The analysis allowed us to identify the regions where these intersecting challenges are most severe.

This policy brief uses geospatial data to analyse challenges and opportunities for linking school meals programmes (SMPs) and regenerative agriculture (RA) interventions in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Rwanda. It maps key socio-ecological variables—including population density, biodiversity threats, agroecological zones, farm size, water risk, land degradation, poverty levels, and school attendance—to gain insights into food production demand and supply barriers.
