OUR FELLOWS
Francisca Aba Ansah is a born organizer who thrives on bringing people together to solve a problem. Currently, this young researcher cum entrepreneur is brainstorming with farmers in northern Ghana about how to build a better plastic bag—a chemical-free, insect-proof, environmentally sustainable, and affordable storage sack liner that will help prevent the postharvest losses that cut deep into smallholders’ meager profits.
Ansah explains. I am studying the effects of environmental factors such as temperature and relative humidity on the biodegradable material itself and on the quality of the food.
