Grace Gyabaah was not entirely sure what natural resource management would entail when she chose it as her area of specialty upon entering Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. The first in her family to attend university, Gyabaah had always been interested in the sciences, and it was a family friend who suggested she investigate this field of study.
I soon discovered a genuine interest in natural resource management,” says Gyabaah. She quickly turned her attention to finding ways to help prevent environmental degradation, and to promoting sustainable land use practices. But her real passion is working directly with local farmers on environmental issues that pose threats to farming and soil resources
Field of Research
Research and develop approaches to promote sound environmental practices and influence people to buy into such approaches by encouraging grassroots participation, in order to improve the general well-being of people, especially those living in rural areas.
