Hello! My name is Silvana, and I am from Paraguay. I got my bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Sciences in my home country, where I also worked developing community-based projects on food safety, leadership and community development. I am interested in working to revalue the local resources and indigenous crops from my country, through the development of accurate strategies in agricultural extension services and sustainable development. Currently I am pursuing a master's degree in the Department of Community Sustainability, at Michigan State University.
