Globally, around 14 percent of food produced is lost from the post- harvest stage up to, but excluding, the retail stage. Highly nutritious material is lost or nutritionally compromised, affecting the diets of millions of people, including in regions where undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are endemic (FAO, 2011). The magnitude of the issue led the authors of the Sustainable Development Goals to recommend to “by 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including postharvest losses (Target 12.3)” and a number of new initiatives have been launched in response (United Nations, 2014; FAO, 2015).

Research integrity and research fairness have gained considerable momentum in the past decade and have direct implications for global health epidemiology. Research integrity and research fairness principles should be equally nurtured to produce high-quality impactful research—but bridging the two can lead to practical and ethical dilemmas.

Over the past decade, Ghana’s tilapia farming has experienced tremendous growth in production; however, much of the growth has been driven by large-scale cage farmers around Lake Volta. It remains unclear how this growth is and can be made more inclusive of poor and young women and men.

The work of health researchers is vitally important to the safety and well-being of people around the world, with the COVID-19 crisis making that all too clear.
