GuruGeri, the Scientist

I have worked more than 25 years as scientists, all over the world, but always with the host Germany: University of Goettingen, University of Kassel and the German federal Thuenen-Institute. My main topic was always Agriculture, with a heard for Organics. I have taken 2015-2017 a three years sabbatical to work as program leader for the "One World - No Hunger" initiative, based in Ethiopia, to gain more experience in food aid and development cooperation structures.
