Le Dr Leonard Rusinamhodzi, un Zimbabw\u00e9en, est actuellement agronome des syst\u00e8mes pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Il poss\u00e8de une expertise en m\u00e9ta-analyse, en mod\u00e9lisation de syst\u00e8mes et en recherche participative sur le terrain ax\u00e9e sur la gestion int\u00e9gr\u00e9e de la fertilit\u00e9 des sols (GIFS). Son travail implique des analyses avanc\u00e9es pour \u00e9tudier les effets de l'intensification durable sur la productivit\u00e9 des syst\u00e8mes, la qualit\u00e9 des sols, l'efficacit\u00e9 de l'utilisation de l'eau et des nutriments, ainsi que les moyens de subsistance dans divers syst\u00e8mes agricoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leonard a travaill\u00e9 pour le CIMMYT de 2015 \u00e0 2019 en tant qu'agronome de syst\u00e8mes de culture, bas\u00e9 initialement \u00e0 Nairobi, au Kenya, puis \u00e0 Katmandou, au N\u00e9pal. Il a \u00e9galement travaill\u00e9 pour le CIRAD en tant que scientifique postdoctoral de 2013 \u00e0 2014, \u00e9tudiant l'impact futur possible du changement climatique sur les syst\u00e8mes de culture en Afrique australe \u00e0 l'aide de mod\u00e8les.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leonard a d'abord suivi une formation en science des sols (BSc et MPhil) \u00e0 l'Universit\u00e9 du Zimbabwe (2002; 2006), puis s'est orient\u00e9 vers l'agronomie et l'analyse des syst\u00e8mes gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un doctorat (2013) en \u00e9cologie de la production et conservation des ressources de l'Universit\u00e9 et du centre de recherche de Wageningen, aux Pays-Bas. Leonard poss\u00e8de une vaste exp\u00e9rience en recherche participative dans les syst\u00e8mes agricoles de petits exploitants, avec une compr\u00e9hension approfondie des obstacles complexes \u00e0 l'am\u00e9lioration de la productivit\u00e9 des cultures. Il s'int\u00e9resse particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 l'apprentissage et \u00e0 la gestion de la science qui d\u00e9veloppe et utilise des outils combinant les aspects sociaux, \u00e9conomiques et biophysiques des agriculteurs pour am\u00e9liorer la productivit\u00e9 et r\u00e9duire la faim chez les petits exploitants en Afrique et au-del\u00e0.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
