One-on-One with SoS Founder

Dr. Melaku Worede is internationally renowned for his pioneering work restoring Ethiopia’s food security. He has been indispensible to our Seeds of Survival (SoS) approach, helping launch that program in the late ’80s. A scientist who puts the farmer first, his work with SoS has helped foster global recognition for the vitally important role farmers play in increasing and conserving on-farm biodiversity. Our friends at GRAIN think highly of Melaku too! They recently published an interview they did with the Guru of SoS. We urge you to read the interview on Grain’s website, or download it as a pdf.
