Ask Africa—Can Agribiotech Make the Difference. - Segenet Kelemu

It is a great honour for me to return to K-State, an institution where I benefited from, and learnt the value of partnerships in science.

I am always aware that my personal efforts have been backed by immense support by researchers, graduate students, other staff, partners, my family, and global partners.

I witnessed the daily struggle of communities trying to eke a living from their land while fighting a losing battle with pests and other factors.
