Research

My field of research are;

• Social differentiation
• Agriculture and Irrigation (Agricultural landscape)  
• Conservation and Pastoralism
• Accumulation and investments in the neo-liberal context

My focus of research is on the understanding of agriculture and irrigation in the rural landscapes in the current neo-liberal context, with a focus on the processes of investment and accumulation among different actors including small scale and large scale and the arising social differentiation both within these actors in their groups and between the groups.  I am also focused on the issues of pastoralism and conservation (Environmental justice), in terms of the impact that conservation activities in Africa have on pastoral livelihoods in the current neo-liberal era.
