2:29Now PlayingAs a young girl growing up in a poor farming village in rural Ethiopia, Segenet Kelemu once witnessed a swarm of locusts wipe out the crops in her village. She vowed then to use the power of science to find ways to help farmers grow more food and earn more income. She decided to study agriculture, becoming the first woman from her region to get a college degree, went on to graduate school in the U.S. and working in an international research institute in South America. After working abroad for 25 years as a plant pathologist, she returned to Africa in 2007 to lead a new generation of scientists dedicated to helping the world’s smallholder farmers grow more food and lift themselves out of poverty. She is currently director general of the International Center for Insect Physiology and Ecology in Nairobi.
