Daniel is an agricultural economist. He completed his PhD from Wageningen University, the Netherlands. During his PhD, he studied farm resilience among smallholders in Kenya. Using adaptive capacity as the principal theoretic and analytical framing, his PhD project focused on the farmer’s socio-cognitive traits and the value chain relations that are continuously (re)made to improve farm resilience.

Previously, he worked as a gender research associate at the International Livestock Research Institute and a research award recipient at the Canadian International Development Research Centre.

Daniel enjoys developing conceptual and methodological frameworks and applying econometrics techniques for both experimental and quasi-experimental impact assessments.
