🧩 Gihan Soliman – Transforming the Food System through Green Innovation, Conservation and Sharing Economy
Gihan Soliman is a food scientist and a soil scientist concerned about transforming the food system toward sustainable abundance. Soliman is a Trustee of the Permaculture Association Britain and a coordinator for the International Permaculture Network in Africa, Mediterranean, and the Middle East (IPNAMME); She believes that solutions come from the people. Soliman devised multiple actions reliant on green innovation, conservation, and environmental activism. She established the Gigi Moringa Ltd to harness the power of Moringa, pulses, fungi, and quinoa in one vegan food-product for integration into the daily diet. Moringa provides highly nutritious food plus other economical, medicinal and environmental services while standing in the soil holding it together and providing shelter for wildlife as well as storing carbon. Soliman is also working, among other scientists, on a quinoa-associated fungi biodiversity project in the Andes to protect biodiversity in habitats that might get affected by quinoa food production, for healthier and sustainable ecosystems.
