31 March 2025
Bolanle Adebayo, Graduate Research Fellow and PhD candidate at Virginia Tech, will join us for our sixth webinar in the 1000Farms series to discuss “Phenomenological Exploration of Participation in Citizen Science and Food Systems Leadership”.
Date: Thursday 3 April
Time: 14:00–14:30 (CET)
Summary
Bolanle Adebayo is a PhD candidate in the Department of Agricultural Leadership and Community Education at Virginia Tech, USA, where she pursues her research interest on issues at the nexus of community leadership development, agricultural development, the farmer-2-farmer extension approach and food systems leadership. She obtained her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the Department of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology and the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, respectively.
Ms Adebayo will discuss the complex challenges faced within the food systems, which require leadership transformation at multi-stakeholder levels, necessitating ordinary citizens’ involvement in food systems leadership. However, little research has focused on leadership within the food systems. The presentation proposes a research study that seeks to explore the possibilities of leadership development and behaviours in citizen science initiatives such as tricot.
