Agriculture Graduate | Researcher
I am a passionate Bachelor of Agriculture Science (B.Sc. Agriculture) graduate from Far Western University, School of Agriculture, with a strong foundation in agricultural sciences and a research-driven approach to sustainable farming.
My academic journey has been focused on understanding the intricate relationships between agriculture, environment, and sustainability. With specialized knowledge in Agronomy, Plant Pathology, Entomology, Horticulture, Soil Science, and Agricultural Economics, I bring a comprehensive perspective to modern agricultural challenges.
I am deeply committed to advancing climate-resilient agriculture and sustainable farming practices. Through hands-on research, field work, and data-driven analysis, I strive to contribute meaningful solutions to food security, environmental conservation, and rural development.
My research interests focus on crop productivity optimization, climate change adaptation strategies, and the application of modern technologies in agriculture. I believe in the power of evidence-based practices to transform agricultural systems and improve farmers' livelihoods.
