WEST LAFAYETTE — A Purdue University graduate student team claimed second place for its low-cost multipurpose utility vehicle for sub-Saharan Africa farmers at USAID's Student Innovation Marketplace competition, an event that drew student teams from across the country.

David Wilson and Jeremy Robison, who are both studying agricultural and biological engineering, used an innovation grant from the Global Center for Food Systems earlier this year to position their project for the Student Innovation Marketplace.
