The Suffrage Science scheme honors women in the field of science not only for their significant scientific accomplishments but also for their capacity to inspire others. Its primary aim is to motivate more women to pursue scientific disciplines and remain engaged in these fields.

Her research also underscores the importance of examining sustainability through multiple lenses, addressing not only ecological challenges but also the social and economic dimensions of farming.”
