OUR FELLOWS
Adey Feleke Desta grew up in Addis Ababa in close proximity to her extended family. She had no contact with rural areas as a child, but says her heart was drawn to the countryside. Her experience of rural life came from watching television and reading books meant for district health centers because her aunt worked for the ministry of health.
The government is working on food security without considering food safety and the health of smallholders. I want to change this to improve the livelihood of smallholders in Ethiopia, especially women.
Field of Research
