About
I have 35 years of experience implementing food and agricultural projects, primarily in the Asia Pacific region. I have a proven track record in determining key thematic strategies for international agencies, and influencing host government policy, through successful demonstration of technical innovation and capacity-building initiatives. I have undertaken extensive field monitoring and evaluation, including the direction of large-scale field surveys, covering a range of agro-ecological systems. I am especially interested in continuing my focus on climate-smart farming systems, the sustainable use of natural resources, and food safety; preferably through assignments in Korea, Mongolia, Pakistan, and the Philippines.
