PROFILE OF GRACE

Health Nutritionist and Community Engagement

Grace Quarshie

I am Grace Quarshie, a dedicated Public Health Nutritionist from the University of Health and Allied Sciences, holding a license from the Allied Health Professions Council. With a deep commitment to promoting health and well-being in communities and years of experience in the field of public health, I have worked extensively to ensure that individuals and families have access to nutritious food and healthy lifestyle choices. My professional journey has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of how nutrition intersects with various aspects of public health, including the critical issue of climate change.

My interest in climate change stems from its profound impact on global health, particularly in relation to nutrition and food security. Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity, food distribution, and the nutritional quality of food, all of which have direct consequences on public health. As a nutritionist, I am acutely aware of how environmental changes affect food systems and, consequently, the health of populations.

I am passionate about advocating for sustainable practices that mitigate climate change and promote resilient food systems. My goal is to integrate climate-conscious strategies into public health initiatives, ensuring that communities are not only healthier but also more adaptable to the changing environment. Through education, community engagement, and policy advocacy, I strive to create a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
