Mayokun Akeremale currently works with the Agroecology team of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in Rome, Italy.

Her work at FAO is on Ecosystems approach to crop production intensification with focus on raising public awareness on the contribution of legumes to sustainable intensification of agricultural systems, food and nutrition security and environmental sustainability. One of such awareness is the World Pulses Day. A day designated for the purpose of promoting pulses and raising public awareness on the significant role pulses play in achieving the 2030 sustainable agenda.

During her masters in Organic Agriculture and Food Systems at the University of Hohenheim, she was part of a research project on “Do organic eggs from different farms have the same quality level?” where she contributed to discussions on accessing safe and wholesome food, and also evaluated the quality and quantity of food accessed by consumers aiming at an improved understanding of the point of intervention in the food value chain.

Further, Mayokun also spent a semester abroad at Warsaw University of Life Sciences where she did a research on SWOT analysis of organic food distribution channels based on IFOAM principles using an organic food store in Warsaw as a case study.
