Getenesh Teshome Abebe wants to see gender-responsive research that provides effective technologies to Ethiopian farmers so that they can produce quality food products—not only to feed their families, but also to be competitive globally. Abebe got her BSc in Animal Sciences at Wollo University in 2011, and then moved directly onto complete her master’s. Currently engaged in research into food safety and quality, as well as postharvest loss management, she is also providing training for university students and smallholder farmers. “I am a committee member of Ethiopia’s standards agency to develop standards on food product safety,” she says.
