His research interest is in sustainability issues with particular emphasis on development, environmental policies and ethics, land and water degradation, food security, and agricultural development. His research aims at designing models that make possible both a sustainable environment and economic development from developing nations perspective premised on variables of human development, ecological and environmental economics, and climate-smart agriculture. He has developed a Multidimensional Environmental Well-Being Framework to measure multiple environmental deprivations to improve socioeconomic, well-being, and poverty analysis to achieve sustainable development. He has also developed the Environmental Generation Framework, and Agricultural and Extension Education for Sustainability approach to achieve environmental sustainability.
