Dr. Angela Mkindi
I am working in research in close connection with smallholder communities in ecological pest management, using natural products specifically botanical pesticides and validating plant-based formulations and landscape approaches to enhance ecosystem services for natural pest management and soil health improvement.
I am a researcher specializing in ecological pest management, specifically emphasizing natural pest regulation, ecosystem services, and the utilization of botanical pesticides. My expertise lies in conducting collaborative research and implementing interventions that involve multiple stakeholders. I am dedicated to a dynamic approach, combining scientifically rigorous research with farmer-led design, experimentation, and analysis. I have published several research articles on the use of pesticidal plants. Furthermore, I have successfully led three projects focused on sustainable pest management and farmer-centered research, agroecology, addressing both above and below-ground pest challenges in smallholder farming systems.
