Experiences

Visiting Researcher
Marcos Moreu Badia, a visiting scientist from the ExCites Group, Department of Geography, University College London (UCL), was deployed to support provide support decision technique tool to farmers on Extreme Citizen Science (ECSAgri) Project in collaboration with Environmental and Economic Resource Centre (EERC) at the Nigeria office.
My visit has afforded him opportunities to gaining a better insight to adaption of digital tools in smallholder farming systems, especially among the rural communities. His experience coming to Nigeria, and working with African Scientists and rural farmers has been a wonderful one with series of learning moments.
