Emily Nickerson, a third-year Water Resources Engineering student at the University of Guelph, worked with the Agriculture Value Chains Venture of Engineers Without Borders this past summer. Working directly with a small agro-inputs business, Emily was able to develop an in-depth understanding of field level realities regarding the access and use of agro-inputs by small-scale farmers. She has gained first hand insight on the importance of systemic change and its role in sustainable livelihood improvements for smallholder farmers. Emily Nickerson's talk will focus on how development sector models in Africa need to change in order to be sustainable; sustainable change must be systemic.
Nickerson has been involved with Engineers Without Borders at the University of Guelph and nationally for the past three years. Further, she has been involved in various School of Engineering events such as GoEngg Girl. Emily is also a President's Scholar at the University of Guelph and completed a research placement with Professor Ed McBean summer 2011.
