Unearthing the root causes of environmental and food challenges
Health of the Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF) is an ecological think tank organization advocating for environmental / climate justice and food sovereignty in Nigeria and Africa at large.
HOMEF believes in locally generated knowledge and practice, and the need for people-centered dialogues. Its work is rooted in an ideology of living in harmony with nature and the environment. HOMEF is focused on unearthing the systemic roots (social, political and economic factors) of environmental and food challenges.
HOMEF works along three project tracks: fossil politics, hunger politics, and creating spaces for knowledge generation and sharing.
