Bakang Kgasudi Makes it to the top 25 PhD candidates at the 15th L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Young Talents Sub-Saharan Africa Awards The mission of the Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN) is to cultivate innovative graduates and develop cutting-edge technological solutions that contribute to sustainable development within the agriculture and natural resources sectors. Today, we take great pride in recognizing the achievements of Bakang Kedumetse Kgasudi, who has been distinguished as one of the top 25 PhD candidates at the prestigious L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Young Talents Sub-Saharan Africa Awards. Bakang's commendable work centers around her scientific research aimed at improving cowpea, a highly valued staple legume crop in Botswana. Her focus on breeding more climate-resilient and higher-yield varieties of cowpea is a vital initiative designed to empower local farmers. By enhancing the productivity of this crop, her work directly addresses the challenges posed by climate change and aims to significantly improve food security in the region. As farmers in Botswana adopt these improved varieties, they are expected to see not only increased yields but also enhanced livelihoods, contributing to the overall growth of the agricultural sector. At BUAN, we are devoted to championing such impactful research that aligns with our commitment to fostering sustainable growth in agriculture and natural resources. We believe that initiatives like Bakang’s not only advance scientific knowledge but also serve as a powerful source of inspiration for young women and girls, encouraging them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Today, we invite everyone to join us in celebrating Bakang's remarkable contributions to science and her role in uplifting the community of aspiring young women. Her dedication and hard work are shining examples of what can be achieved through perseverance and belief in one's abilities. Let us honor her achievements and support her ongoing efforts in making a positive impact in Botswana and beyond.
