RLC Bonn Junior Researcher Ahmed Abdalla currently works on his dissertation about the main social and environmental challenges that wheat producing smallholders face in the River Nile delta. In order to receive first-hand information from local smallholders, Ahmed recently conducted a field research in Egypt supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). He also works together with Heliopolis University and SEKEM, which received the Right Livelihood Award in 2003, in a 3-years project on “Transition towards sustainable agriculture: The case of wheat-based production systems in Egypt”.

The virtual presentation “A story about wheat in Egypt” showing images from Ahmed’s field trip can be explored here.
