I am a development sector professional, with a research focus on agriculture sector and food policies in developing economies. I am trained in economics and quantitative methods but like to apply mixed methods to my research (both quantitative and qualitative). My topics of interest include climate change, agroecology, aspirations, youth and methods research on survey tools and instruments. I am currently a doctoral candidate at University of Bonn, and my doctoral research involves understanding aspirations of farmers towards agroecology in the context of India using primary data.
