More importantly, it highlights the university's commitment to supporting innovative research and providing a platform for academicians to grow and make meaningful contributions.

In expressing his appreciation Dr. Masese said, “I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Vice Chancellor, whose nomination was pivotal in my achievement. This award underscores the importance of research within our institution and highlights the university's dedication to fostering a vibrant academic community”.

“In conclusion, I am both humbled and excited by the recognition from the NRF Awards. This achievement is not just mine; it reflects the collective strength of our university and the dedication of all who contribute to advancing research. I take this time to thank my mentors and teachers, collaborators, fellow researchers at UoE and my postgraduate students for their contribution.

Food and nutrition security is a key component to creating food and nutrition sustainability.

Our Ph.D. Candidate from the School of Agriculture and Biotechnology, Henry Tamba Nyuma, talked about his study to various participants at the ongoing RUFORUM conference in Windhoek, Namibia between August 12th - 16th, 2024.

Henry's study aims to 'Assess the Potential of Fortified-Pelletized Agroforestry Organic Amendments for Enhanced Soil Fertility Under Small Holder Agriculture in SSA.'

From his initial findings the advantages of organic pellets are the improvement of soil fertility (soil ecology), recycling of organic resources (circular economy), reduced use of chemical fertilizer (socio-economic), reduction of carbon emission (carbon sequestration) and ease of transportation and storage (socio-economic).

Henry Tamba Nyumba is our postgraduate student from Liberia pursuing his doctorate degree in Soil Science.
