Sustainability assessments and stakeholders inclusion in bioenergy and bioeconomy
Operationalising the East African Bioeconomy Strategy: Industrial Readiness of The Banana Fibre Subsector
Short Introductive summary
Daphine Kamusingize, a research scientist with the National Agricultural Research Organization in Uganda, and currently pursuing a PhD in plant production systems at Wageningen University & Research, The Netherlands. I am passionate about improving livelihoods of resource-poor farmers without compromising environmental integrity for sustainable development. With 10 years of interactive working experience in small-holder farming communities of Sub-Saharan Africa I am biased towards conducting research on innovative solutions for the sustainability of banana farming systems; e.g. sustainable production of biomass for food, fibre, feed and fuel. Key competences lie in farming systems analysis, developing agronomic solutions, multi-disciplinary stakeholder engagement, and designing, planning and implementation of R4D projects.
