This was the Tesfaye\u2019s first visit to Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>A panel of researchers from the Zilber School presented overviews of their research:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lance Weinhardt, professor and associate dean, discussed the recently completed\u00a0SAGE4Health project, which evaluated the impact of economic and food security interventions on HIV vulnerability in rural Malawi.<\/li>\n<li>Renee Walker, assistant professor of community and behavioral health promotion, talked about her work on the impact of poverty and racial inequalities on nutrition-related diseases in Milwaukee.<\/li>\n<li>Emmanuel Ngui, associate professor of community and behavioral health promotion, highlighted research on maternal and child health in Milwaukee, particularly efforts to lower the number of babies who are born too early and too small, key issues contributing to the high infant mortality rate in Milwaukee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dr. Ferew Lemma, a senior nutrition adviser in the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, shared information about the country\u2019s efforts to improve nutrition, particularly its effect on maternal and infant health. Ethiopia has an ambitious agenda called the Seqota Declaration to eliminate childhood malnutrition.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a group of Milwaukee food entrepreneurs shared their experiences and some of the food and herbs they\u2019ve developed. \u00a0The entrepreneurs included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Venice Williams of Alice\u2019s Garden, an urban farm;<\/li>\n<li>Bob Wills of the Clock Shadow Creamery, an urban cheese shop and factory;<\/li>\n<li>Martha Davis Kipcak of Mighty Fine Food LLC, which specializes in artisan pimento cheese;<\/li>\n<li>Yollande Deacon of Irie Zulu, an African and Jamaican restaurant and food business;<\/li>\n<li>JoAnne and Maanaan Sabir, who operate The Juice Kitchen on North Avenue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Office of the First Lady of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia was established in July 2013, the first time in Ethiopia\u2019s history that the country had such a formal office.
