Holder of a PhD in agronomic sciences, I am specialized in animal sciences and the design of innovative livestock farming systems. My main mission is to identify and evaluate, through a multi-criteria approach, combinations of plant and animal species that create nutritionally balanced feed profiles for livestock, while optimizing the entire crop-livestock farming system. In my work, I aim to address the following key questions:

  • Which plant resources offer nutritional value for livestock while providing economic and environmental benefits in tropical crop-livestock systems?
  • Which animal species or combinations of species can make the best use of these resources?
  •  What management methods or tools can be used to optimize the use of these plant and animal resources?

My publications are available on CVHAL.
