OUR FELLOWS
Zombe Kapata Nalupya spent most of her childhood in a rural village where her father worked as a teacher. Here, she noticed the challenges facing smallholder farmers, such as inadequate food supply and limited resources to meet household needs. “Why is it that farmers cannot have food like we do —can’t a father buy shoes for his children like ours does?” she wondered.
Our people need access to quality seed. Seed is the key input in the agricultural sector. You can have fertilizer and land, but if you don’t have quality seed nothing can be realized.
Field of Research
My career goal is to alleviate poverty and contribute to increased incomes for smallholder farmers by influencing policies that can improve the availability and accessibility of superior crop varieties.
