heal.abstract	William S. Kisaalita, born and raised in Uganda on a smallholder farm, is dedicated towards studies related to biosensor research at University of Georgia (UGA) and has developed this into an internationally recognized program. He also prepared an issue paper on international program development, providing an opportunity to develop technology for smallholder farmers all over the world. In 2001, Kisaalita modified the standard capstone course by adding a global service-learning section. The program has resulted in two commercially viable products, a biogas-powered milk cooler, and a solar energy-powered avian hatchery incubator, that are currently in the diffusion or dissemination stages in Burkina Faso and Uganda, respectively. Kisaalita finds that the principle components of smallholder resilience are family labor, diversification, and indigenous knowledge.	en
