Click here for the livestream of the event.

In this keynote lecture sponsored by the Aronson Family Science and Society Lecture, the Honors College and Purdue's Center for the Environment, Dr. Alison Power will discuss her team's work in Ethiopia that addresses the dynamic relationships between farmers’ ecological knowledge and plant diversity as part of their social-environmental system. Ethiopian farmers have developed diverse crop varieties and cropping systems that enable adaptation to changing agroecological and sociocultural conditions. Their work has focused on how this crop diversity is selected, valued and used by farmers as well as the diversity of cropping systems in which they are grown. 

Registration is NOT required to attend in person.
