About
Dr. Ammal Abukari is a leading voice in sustainable resource management, whose work bridges modern environmental challenges with time-honored indigenous knowledge. Her research focuses on the intersection of climate change adaptation, food security, and the sustainable management of land and water resources. Her most cited paper, "Harnessing Indigenous Technologies for Sustainable Management of Land, Water, and Food Resources Amidst Climate Change" (2021, 45 citations), offers a compelling critique of modern technological overreach—arguing that pre-colonial, indigenous practices provide more ecologically balanced solutions than fossil-fuel-dependent agriculture. This work has become a foundational reference for scholars exploring decolonial approaches to environmental science. Dr. Abukari’s scholarship is distinguished by its practical, community-centered vision: she demonstrates that reviving traditional methods of soil conservation, rainwater harvesting, and crop diversification can build resilience against climate shocks without sacrificing productivity. Her contributions are particularly vital for researchers and policymakers in the Global South seeking low-cost, locally appropriate strategies. By reframing indigenous technologies not as relics but as adaptive, evidence-based tools, Dr. Abukari challenges the field to rethink what “innovation” truly means in an era of ecological crisis.
