Since 2017, Thiam, through Yolélé Foods, has been known for producing and selling fonio products in the United States. Fonio is an ancient West African super-grain mostly imported from Mali, Togo, Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Senegal. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/06/fonio-beer-climate-friendly-grainThiam believes that introducing the global market to the fonio grain is simultaneously supporting sustainable and traditional agriculture in West African nations. He positions his project as part of a larger movement to elevate the economic power of African farmers, who for centuries have been suppressed by the Western hegemony in the global food system.
