Investigate Farmers’ Traditional Practices for Sustainability and Climate Resilience
Join an exciting collaborative research project on traditional grain mixtures funded by the Rockefeller Foundation’s Periodic Table of Food Initiative.
Our research explores the potential benefits of a time-tested practice that has been displaced by monocultures in most of the world but continues to sustain communities in rural 埃塞俄比亚. 埃塞俄比亚n farmers’ knowledge and practice hold promise to enhance food security and climate resilience — both locally and globally.
As a member of the Clark University team, you will work closely with esteemed faculty and graduate students from the New York Botanical Gardens, Cornell University, City University of New York, Addis Ababa University, Wollo University, and the 埃塞俄比亚n Public Health Institute.
