The world of agricultural entomology holds immense promise for sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation. However, investing in women scientists and researchers is key to accelerating progress in this field. Investing in women within the realm of agricultural entomology is not just an investment in individuals; it is an investment in the future of sustainable agriculture. Let us commit to supporting and empowering women scientists and researchers in agricultural entomology, recognizing their invaluable contributions, and ensuring a brighter, more sustainable future for farming communities and ecosystems. Happy International Women's Day #agricultiralentomology #womeninagriculture #womeninentomology #entomology #femalescientist

I am happy to share my latest paper on a political ecology of farmers’ exposure to pesticides in Ghana. In this paper, we demonstrate two things. First, we demonstrate how politics shapes farming practices, which in turn produce ecological outcomes. Second, we demonstrate how health outcomes are socio-politically produced. Let me know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/g7Huw8NN

Our book "Parasitic Plants in African Agriculture" is published today by CABI Research Insights! The ebook is available now (see link below), the hardback is due to follow soon. This book brings together for the first time in a single volume, the ecology, biology, damage, and control of all groups of African parasitic plants including both the relatively few parasites introduced to the continent as well as those native parasites which have spread from within Africa. This covers the well-known witchweeds and broomrapes but also groups and species that have received less attention including mistletoes, dodders, rice vampireweed, or those posing threats. It is well-illustrated by photos, graphs and species' distribution maps. https://lnkd.in/ecDiW2aQ
