Keessy Maria-Prisca Kouakou is an interdisciplinary researcher with expertise in ecology, environmental science, and social science. She is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge, supported by the Cambridge Trust Scholarship. Her research examines how supply chain sustainability initiatives affect the adoption of agroforestry and influence social and ecological outcomes in the cocoa sectors of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates policy analysis with biophysical and household surveys, her work addresses land systems, sustainable agroecosystems, ecosystem service trade-offs, biodiversity, and governance of land and food systems.
