OUR FELLOWS
Alganesh Tola Gemechu is devoted to studying the chemical and microbial qualities of milk and milk products in order to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in her country. She credits an excellent secondary school education in western Ethiopia with attracting her to agricultural research from a young age.
At the secondary school that I attended, we studied dairy cattle, swine, and poultry production, and I loved using the modern machinery,” says Gemechu, who was later one of only four women in her university class of 60 agriculture students.
