About Dr. Mohamed El Hassan
In 2017, Dr. Mohamed El Hassan co-designed the Sahel Agro-Adaptation Protocol, a field-tested framework that helped over 14,000 smallholder farmers in Niger and Burkina Faso shift from rain-fed millet monocropping to integrated sorghum-pigeonpea-fodder systems using low-cost soil moisture sensors and indigenous seed banks. His work rejects one-size-fits-all tech transfers: he maps local knowledge first, like Fulani herders’ phenological calendars, then layers in precision tools only where they amplify, not replace, existing resilience. He’s published peer-reviewed validation of how bundling compost micro-dosing with women-led grain storage cooperatives reduced post-harvest loss by 63% in Malawi’s drought-prone districts. His skepticism toward ‘digital silver bullets’ is rooted in years spent troubleshooting solar-powered irrigation pumps that failed because maintenance manuals weren’t translated into Hausa dialects spoken by village mechanics. He speaks in crop rotations, not buzzwords.
