About the Speaker
I have been working for Africa Rice Center as Systems Agronomist since 2019. My current research focuses on developing, testing, and disseminating sustainable intensification and diversification options in irrigated rice farming systems for improving livelihoods, nutrition and resilience of rural communities and smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Prior to joining AfricaRice, I worked for OCP Africa as agronomist to develop and implement site-specific nutrient management practices for sustainable crop production. I have authored and co-authored more than 20 papers in peer-reviewed journals. I hold a PhD degree in Integrated Soil Fertility Management from Kwame University of Science and Technology. I received the President's International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI) Postdoctoral Researcher Award from Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2016 and the Emerging Leader for African Agricultural Transformation (ELAAT) Award in 2021, which was sponsored by OCP Northern America and the American Society of Agronomy.
