Karen Jacobsen Global Work

 

 


Creative and sustainable solutions to the world's food crisis are urgently needed.  Dr. Karen Jacobsen recently participated in two USAID-funded Farmer-to-Farmer programs.  She volunteered in the former Soviet republic of Georgia with ACDI/VOCA in Georgia in December, 2007.  In January and February, 2008, she was sent by Land O'Lakes International Development Division to the country of Malawi in Southeastern Africa.  In both countries, she worked with small dairy farms to extend their dairy knowledge and expertise.
