The World Food Prize Foundation
The purpose of my World Food Prize internship was to gain a better understanding of the issues that subsistence farmer’s face and the potential solutions. In this respect, the relevance of the project was excellent. Not only did I have the opportunity to experiment on a recharge well model, I was able to interview women in several villages and see first-hand how these water interventions impacted subsistence farmers on the grassroots level.
My overall satisfaction with my project is very high¾"excellent." I particularly appreciate the multi-dimensional perspective I gained on the issue of water scarcity¾from both the scientific and social science perspective. My project mentors helped me develop a project with multiple objectives and add depth to my perspective. They provided me with strong guidance, spending many hours with me to develop my project, arrange field visits, and answer my questions. Their expertise was invaluable to my research.
