Presentation

Dr. Groot specialized in farming systems analysis, model-informed landscape planning and design, and participatory modelling and gaming. He holds a PhD in Agronomy and MScs in grassland science, animal physiology and tropical animal husbandry. He performed post-doc research in national and international projects concerning nutrient cycling, modeling of sustainability indicators and design of mixed farms in multifunctional landscapes dominated by dairy farming systems.
Currently, Dr Groot has a coordinating role in integrated landscape and farming systems analysis addressing multi-scale issues of productivity, natural resource management, human nutrition and equitability for CGIAR Science Programs on Multifunctional Landscapes and Sustainable Farming Systems. Project sites are located in Asia (e.g. Nepal, Bangladesh), Africa (e.g., Ghana, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Malawi) and Latin America (e.g., Ecuador, Uruguay and Mexico).
