My research interests include documentation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and biological diversity, along with the scientific validation of TEK, value addition of biological resources based on TEK, and livelihood enhancement. I focus on the popularization of important plant resources such as underutilised plants and fruit-yielding species by integrating them into agroforestry practices, making the systems more resilient and economically viable.
