Evidence that moves into action.
I am Dr Samuel Awoniyi, an agricultural economist and Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics at Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Nigeria. My work sits at the intersection of digital agriculture, food systems, climate and energy, and rigorous evidence synthesis. My research asks how technology, institutions and policy shape opportunity, resilience and agricultural transformation—particularly in Africa.
