SUMMARY

Mr. Joseph Mwangi is an Assistant lecturer of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at the department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Management, Egerton university. He holds a master’s degree in Agricultural and applied Economics from Egerton university and is also a Certified Public Accountant. Mwangi’s Research experience and interests span around smallholder agriculture and resource systems, rural economics, governance of smallholder value chains and resource systems, gendered analysis of market based approaches to rural growth and poverty alleviation, and agri-technology paradigms in rural development. Mwangi has more than 8 years of research experience and has recently concluded a USAID funded research project exploring whether use of Blockchain Technology can Promote the Production and Consumption of African Indigenous Vegetables in Western Kenya. This multidisciplinary project sought ways of enhancing production and exchange transactions among value chain actors in western Kenya in ways that enhance gender parity along the chain while simultaneously improving nutritional outcomes.
