About Me

Name:
Location: Kingston, Jamaica

I am a Ghanaian-born Senior Principal Scientist at the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) and currently also the CARDI Representative in Jamaica. I was educated at the University of Ghana, Legon (B.Sc., Agri. Hons and M.Sc., Anim. Sci.) and the University of Wales, UK (Ph.D.), and have had a professional career spanning over 27 years as Livestock Scientist, specialising in Animal Nutrition, Forage Agronomy and Ruminant Livestock Production, especially sheep and goats. I am also the Regional Coordinator of the Caribbean Small Ruminant Network (CASRUNet). Before joining CARDI I held academic and administrative positions at the University of Ghana (Research Officer – 1975 to 1980, Lecturer – 1980 to 1981) and University of Guyana (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer – 1982 to 1989, Assistant Dean/Dean, Faculty of Agriculture 1984 to 1989). Current professional passion: To assist in the development of the Caribbean small ruminant industry and thereby help subsistence and hobby sheep and goat producers to embrace small ruminant production as a viable agribusiness activity. “Sheep and Goats” is my business!

Small Ruminant Network Online - the beginnings

Today we began concrete efforts to start the CARDI Small Ruminants online community. A list of participants was drawn up and sent to Andrew (FAO) to start the Dgroup. I consider this a modest beginning. Both Norman and I are tied up for most of April 2006, so we hope to get going in May 2006.
