Biography
Dr. Regis Chikowo is a systems agronomist with interests in technology delivery and use by smallholder farmers. He has over the years carried out basic and applied research on nutrient management on smallholder farms, largely in southern African countries of Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Approaches that integrate legumes to tap into biological N2-fixation to sustain production on smallholder farms have been core his investigations. He also integrates crop production systems modeling to study complex farming systems. Previously, he was a key member of IDRC funded climate change adaptation projects, and FARA Challenge Program on food security. He joined MSU in 2012, first as a Postdoctoral Fellow, and then Assistant Professor since 2015. He mostly guides implementation of the Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) project in Malawi, a collaborative effort between MSU and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
