Dr Ogunniyi is currently a researcher in the Department of Soil Science, University of Abuja. She obtained her PhD in Plant and Environmental Sciences at the School of Life Sciences, University of Warwick, United Kingdom. Prior to that, she has Masters in Agriculture from the College of Resources and Environment, Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, China. Her reserach focuses on interactions between Agriculture, Environment and Climate change. She aims at understanding and mitigation of the contribution of agricultural practices to climate change and environmental pollution. She engages with cutting edge researches that would ensure food security and sustainable production while maintaining clean environment. Also, she is interested in bridging the gaps between reserachers and end users.

I participate at climapAfrica because
it provides platform for African researchers to interact with the international community on the issues related to climate change globally. It empowers the African researchers to understand and sought locally adapted solutions to climate change problems in their environment. Also, it provides opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
