Research Interest:
It is well documented that agricultural activities contributes to greenhouse gas emission, biodiversity loss and rapid decline in soil fertility. Subsequently, increasing global population means that current agricultural production systems must be designed to satisfy food demand of the present generation without compromising the resource base for future needs. Improving sustainability of agricultural production systems requires identification and adoption of practices that are environmentally safe and agronomically productive.
My research entails identifying and integrating pathways and agricultural practices that leads to a net zero emission cropping system, improve crop productivity, and enhance soil health in Midwestern United State. The overall objective is to established strategies that holistically employs several agricultural practices for farm level and global scale benefits.
