In high school, Nancy Mugimba thought about being a doctor but changed her mind after a visit to the cadaver room at medical school, deciding to study nutrition instead. As she grew up, her veterinarian father and statistician mother combined their work with farming, orienting her to agriculture at a young age. “After retirement, they moved to the village and started working on crop and livestock farming,” says Mugimba, the fifth born in a family of seven.
