About Riju

I am a graduate of Agricultural Science with practical experience engaging with farmers and taking part in field research. I am skilled in communication, leadership and teamwork.

I am motivated to build research skills on pollinators, pesticide governance, and farmers’ perceptions of agricultural change.

I also manage our family farm in Ratnanagar, and write in the Journal about what farming teaches, from guava fruit flies to the starfruit saplings my grandmother brought from Assam.

Beyond agriculture, I enjoy reading and admiring the arts.
