A huge honour to spend two weeks in Mexico at the invitation of the Ministry of Agriculture. The world has a lot to learn from the Mexican experience strengthening food systems.

Meet Rohima Khatun, the Ducter Apa from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Since 2019, Rohima Khatun has been working as a Gold Star Member (GSM) with Social Marketing Company (SMC) at the Sachetan Society in Lalpur, Natore.
