The Story of Ai Thanda

In November 2007, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Winrock International co-funded a one-year John D. Rockefeller 3RD Scholars team to assess the socio-economic impacts of avian influenza on rural poultry farmers in Burma (Myanmar). The leader of the winning research team, Dr. Ai Thanda, provided a first-hand account of her experience.
