Teshome Hunduma is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of International Environment and Development Studies. His current research looks at how farmers can readily access crop diversity by developing models for strengthening the connection between genebanks and national seed systems. Before joining Noragric for his Ph.D. study in 2016, Teshome worked for the Development Fund (DF) of Norway as an advisor, where he coordinated DF’s policy and program support for agrobiodiversity management in Asia and Africa. Before that, he worked for Haramaya University, an agricultural university, and the national gene bank of the Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute. Teshome's Ph.D. research project title was "Sowing seeds of security: A multilevel perspective on the governance of plant genetic resources and seed systems in Ethiopia" and covers the governance of seed and plant genetic resources for food agriculture, seed security, and seed systems. At Noragric, Teshome has participated in advising masters thesis, teaching master and bachelor courses in addition to research.
