My passion lies in development and being a voice for the seemingly voiceless. It is this passion that drove my desire for research. During my graduate studies and now that I am working, I realize that the developing communities need a holistic approach in solving the food system challenges. My research and professional background is strongly rooted in Agronomy and Physiology of field crops focusing on Sustainable Crop Production and Weed Science. I am currently working on integration of livestock in cropping systems for both commercial and small-scale farmers. |
