The 2016 Justice for Women Lecture was presented by Dr. Lindiwe Majele Sibanda on March 24 at the Abomson Community Education Center. Dr. Sibanda discussed, Overcoming Food Insecurity – Ideas & Inspiration from Zimbabwe to Maine.
Dr. Lindiwe Majele Sibanda is a global leader in the sustainable farming movement and the fight to end hunger and food insecurity. She coordinates policy research and advocacy programs aimed at making Africa a food and nutrition secure region. She is currently leading the multi-country ATONU Project aimed at addressing the question, “What can agriculture do for nutrition?”. This project seeks to improve nutrition outcomes in smallholder farm families and poor households through tailored nutrition-sensitive agriculture programs that ultimately benefit women of childbearing age and children in the first 1,000 days of life.
The evening began with a performance by Maine’s own Pihcintu Multicultural Chorus.
