Manage episode 341898337 series 3285647
In this episode, we meet Teshome Hunduma Mulesa, a Ph.D. candidate at Noragric who has been researching farmers’ SEED SECURITY, which is central to crop production for smallholder farmers in developing countries. In the article, Pluralistic Seed System Development: A Patch to Seed Security?, Teshome and colleagues analyze the performance of different seed systems in relation to seed security outcomes in Ethiopia. The article has high relevance to policy formulation and implementation in developing countries. This article is part of Teshome’s Ph.D. research project, which becomes relevant in the context of ongoing discussions around food systems.
Teshome wishes to thank the NMBU for the scholarship to carry out this research and the Research Council of Norway (RCN) for financial support for his fieldwork under grant number (RCN 277452). He also wants to thank the co-authors for their contributions.
