PRESENTED BY THE WOOSTER CAMPUS DIVERSITY COMMITTEE
While tracking pesticide (mis)use by farmers seeking to combat tomato bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, Hellen began to consider low cost, environmentally friendly integrated pest management techniques on smallholder Tanzanian farms while increasing productivity, reducing operating costs, and protecting human health and the environment. She is sponsored by The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Innovation Lab for East Africa and led by Ohio State. This major vegetable IPM project seeks to prepare the next generation of agricultural scientists, leaders and food system institutions in East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, and Ethiopia) through graduate degree training, collaborative research, and human and institutional capacity development (HICD)
