I am a Scientist with CIMMYT working in diverse agricultural systems implementing agroecology, and participatory action research
Presentation
My expertise are in integrating practices to foster food and nutrition security while addressing climate change and rural development challenges. I actively engage in participatory action research methodologies to empower smallholder farmers and promote sustainable agricultural practices. I utilize various tools, including crop simulation modeling, alongside community-driven approaches to adapt to climate variability and enhance food security outcomes. My work looks at the intricate relationships within the Climate-Food-People-Environment within agricultural landscapes. Committed to transformative strategies, I advocate for inclusive food security initiatives that prioritize equity and resilience in agricultural systems.
