Research Focus

    • Title: Blending traditional and new animal health solutions to support agro-pastoral livelihoods under climate change.

      Jonathan's research employs mixed methods, focused on understanding the relationships between goat health, climate change and resource-poor smallholder farmers' livelihoods in mixed farming systems in southern Africa.

      This has also involved managing an innovative pilot study in Malawi with NGO Self Help Africa, where 408 farmers across three distinct districts of Malawi have been taught taught how to identify and treat goats that are struggling to cope with gastrointestinal parasites.

      Additional work of Jonathan's has involved modelling the impacts of ENSO and future climate change on Haemonchus contortus transmission in Africa.

      Further socio-economic analysis has focused on assessing the uptake of animal health interventions, in addition to analysing goat value chains in Malawi and Botswana using a suite of research methods including value chain analysis.
