Abdiqani Mohamed Muhumed

I am a TVET Agriculture Trainer and Climate-Smart Agriculture Lead Specialist with six years of experience advancing sustainable food systems across Somaliland. I design competency-based curricula focused on precision farming, hydroponics, and soil degradation diagnostics to address critical regional environmental challenges. By translating complex climate resilience frameworks into practical field applications, I equip youth and smallholder farmers with science-backed agronomic methodologies to mitigate chronic drought vulnerabilities. I am now seeking to apply my expertise in arid-land food security and climate adaptation to large-scale international development initiatives.
