Making agriculture more productive and sustainable through research and open-source tools
I study how to grow better crops using fewer resources — especially in dry areas where water, energy, and nutrients are limited.
What I work on: Pulse Crop Agronomy · Weed Management in Arid Pulses · Conservation Agriculture · Water-Energy-Food-Nutrient-Carbon Nexus · Dryland Farming · Resource Use Efficiency · Climate-Smart Agriculture · Soil Health
I also build free tools that help agricultural researchers analyse their data:
| Package | What it does | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Analyses how farming affects water, energy, food, nutrients and carbon — all in one tool | install.packages("wefnexus") |
|
| Statistical tools for agricultural research | install.packages("aridagri") |
Farmers in dry regions face tough choices every day — how to save water, reduce costs, manage weeds, and still grow enough food. My research and tools aim to help them and the scientists who support them make better, data-driven decisions.
