Climate Change. Carbon Markets. Agroforestry. Food Security
My research ethos is anchored in a systematic approach to addressing the intricate challenges of climate change, agroforestry, the carbon market, and the resilience of smallholder farmers in Africa. By employing a rigorous flow of quantitative and qualitative methodologies complemented by spatial analysis, I aim to untangle the complex interdependencies that characterize food security and sustainable agricultural systems.
Climate Change and Carbon Market
Climate Change and Carbon Market
By identifying the socioeconomic and spatial variables that contribute to vulnerability, my research aims to develop robust strategies for climate change mitigation and the potential of carbon credits as an economic mechanism to reward sustainable agriculture/forestry practices. I would conduct spatially informed analyses to understand the market's operation at the local level and its impact on smallholder farmers.
Agroforestry and Ecosystem Services
My research critically assesses agroforestry's role in delivering ecosystem services, using spatial analysis to map benefits like carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and food security. I quantify these services to demonstrate agroforestry's multifunctional potential in creating resilient, sustainable agricultural systems. This work informs strategies to optimize land use that supports ecological balance and enhances livelihoods.

Smallholder Farmers and Food Security
My research investigates the participation of African smallholder farmers in carbon markets, aiming to enhance their resilience and food security. This work strives to demonstrate how inclusive carbon markets can support sustainable development and bolster food sovereignty.
