Agitu Ideo Gudeta (Oromo: Aggituu Ida'o Guddataa; Amharic: አጊቱ ጉደታ; 1 January 1978 – 29 December 2020) was an Ethiopian Oromo[1] farmer,[2] entrepreneur, and environmentalist who immigrated to Italy after experiencing conflict due to her political activism against land grabbing by the military for international corporations. She established a goat farming operation using the indigenous breed Pezzata Mòchena to produce dairy and beauty products. Gudeta became a national symbol of environmentalism and successful refugee integration into Italian society by the press and politicians. She was assassinated in December 2020; Adams Suleiman, a Ghanaian seasonal worker she had hired, was charged with raping and murdering her.
