Dr. Lakisha Odom, Scientific Program Director at the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR), firmly believes in the inclusivity of agriculture. She actively puts that to work by leveraging innovative science and interdisciplinary thinking to address the complex challenges in food and agriculture. Her work at FFAR bridges research and policy, aiming to tackle complex issues while inspiring future generations of diverse and multi-cultural food and ag scientists. She is unapologetically herself — bubbly and energetic, even as a scientist — and wants you to believe that you can be, too. 

Dr. Odom received her bachelor’s degree in environmental science from Tuskegee University, her master’s degree in environmental resource policy from The George Washington University, and her doctorate in integrative biosciences from Tuskegee University.
