Paulina is from Mexico and she has been living in Germany for 5 years. She is doing her masters in Hohenheim University in Stuttgart on Organic Agriculture and Food Systems. She is very much interested in rural development issues in the Tropical regions and she thinks it is a great opportunity to be a student reporter and do networking with students and professionals in the Tropentag, and to hear about current topics and first-hand knowledge from the presentations. Paulina hopes that she will find an inspiration for her master thesis topic from the ideas that she will collect from the conference.
