Presentation

Rohit Pawar is a PhD candidate at the Plant Production Systems chair group at Wageningen University, the Netherlands. His research focuses on co-designing pathways for sustainable intensification and improved market coordination in Tanzania’s soybean value chain. He conducts participatory on-farm experiments, farm surveys, and stakeholder interviews, and organise stakeholder workshops to disseminate findings and co-design options with key actors.

Previously, after completing his MSc at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), he worked as a Junior Researcher at Plant Production Systems (PPS), contributing to three projects. Within the Excellence in Agronomy Initiative (CGIAR), he developed a workflow for farm typology using mixed data sources. In the FoSTA-One Health project, he conducted a systematic review of legume integration experiments in Malawi and later supported the design and monitoring of agronomic trials. Building on his MSc thesis work, he also contributed to the Sustainable Soybean Production in Northern Ghana (SSPiNG) project, where he analysed the effects of the fertiliser crisis on the maize-dominant farming system and the role soybean plays amid the increased smallholder adoption of Northern Ghana.
