Bio

Dr. Anne Karuma

I have a PhD (Soil and Water Management) (Sokoine University of Agriculture, Tanzania, 2015), an M.Sc. in Soil Science (University of Nairobi, 2009), and a B.Sc. in Agriculture (University of Nairobi, 2007). My research domain focuses on agricultural production through water-efficient practices in the arid and semi-arid ecosystems. My main interests are sustainable land, soil, and water management in increasing agricultural productivity, environmental integrity, and climate change adaptation and mitigation.
