OUR FELLOWS
Nkiruka Celestina Odoh grew up in eastern Nigeria, where business was valued and getting an education was considered a waste of resources, especially for girls. However, with support from her family, she has succeeded academically, and is dedicated to sharing her knowledge in an effort to improve agricultural productivity and the lives of smallholder farmers.
Since traditional knowledge about managing soil life is dying, building internal soil resources for crop production is a key to promoting sustainable land use.
Field of Research
I hope to acquire and use advanced molecular tools to characterize and conserve, multiply, process, and package them for continent-wide usage by farmers.
