Research Interests & Expertise

My research aims to explore the scientific mechanisms and socio-economic impacts of natural farming systems. Specifically, I seek to examine how natural farming affects soil organic matter, nutrient cycling, water retention, and crop resilience under varying environmental conditions. In addition, I am interested in studying farmers’ adoption of natural farming practices and the challenges and opportunities associated with transitioning from conventional agriculture. My research will combine field experiments, soil and crop analysis, and farmer-based participatory research. By comparing natural farming plots with conventional and organic farming systems, I aim to evaluate their relative performance in terms of productivity, environmental sustainability, and economic viability. Such research can help develop evidence-based recommendations that support farmers and policymakers in promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
