My long term interests focus on sustainable development interventions that strengthen food systems and livelihoods in developing economies. My previous experience includes strengthening the capacity of informal dairy markets for improved food safety and strengthening community-led organizations in sustainable natural resource management initiatives. I have a BSc in Natural resource management, MSc in Agricultural Economics and currently pursuing PhD in Vet medical sciences. My current research focuses on the epidemiology and economics of improved cow comfort in smallholder dairy systems
