Agricultural Economics, Agribusiness and Extension

About

I hold a PhD in Agricultural Economics (from the University of Bonn, Germany) and aim to become one of the finest agricultural, climate change, and development economists in the world. My research efforts are purposed on identifying ways to improve the welfare of farmers and societies at large at local, national, regional and global scales

Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher is engaged in Life Sciences research across various domains, focusing on addressing challenges such as climate change impacts on agriculture, the application of agricultural innovations like cassava production, their social implications on finances and labor markets, and international trade complexities. Specific studies include analyses of extreme weather events in Sudan savanna regions, cassava yields in Togo, and cocoa exports from Ghana. Additionally, the researcher explores technical methods for enhancing crop yields in Côte d'Ivoire through rice production, illustrating a comprehensive approach to understanding agricultural challenges globally.
