The inaugural meeting was held by ZOOM for 2 hours on Monday 16 August,  2021. It was declared open by Dr Yemi Akinbamijo, the Executive Director of Ghana-based FARA. The meeting has attendance from many African and other countries . Issues raised include  the need to identify the forgotten foods and know why they were forgotten in the first place. It also delved on the need to activate intervention to make sure the issue is reversed in light of the nutritional and medicinal values inherent in most of them. There was no need to experience malnutrition in Africa with an array of available food choices all promising good health and possibly export. It was moderated by Dr Wole Fatunmbi
