UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Jacob Johnson, a doctoral candidate in forest resources and in international agriculture and development in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, has received a Fulbright Study/Research Award.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program offering opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and primary and secondary school teaching worldwide. Recipients are chosen based on academic and professional achievement, their record of service, and leadership potential.
The award will support Johnson’s doctoral research at Penn State, which explores the integration of multipurpose trees into farm-level aquaculture systems in Zambia, a landlocked country in southcentral Africa in which smallholder farmers face significant challenges related to farm resource management and food and nutritional security.
