Lawal-Adebowale Okanlade is a Professor of Agro-Innovation Development and Knowledge Exchange with two decades of lecturing and researching in the field of agriculture. His line of teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels has largely been in the context of Research Methodology, Farming Intensification and Sustainable Agro-Ecosystem, Agricultural Extension Issues, Rural Community Development and Social Change.
The major achievement in the teaching career is intellectual development of students toward development of the ability to critically analyse situations for problem identification and development probable solution. This was accomplished through the integration participatory and student-centered learning strategies and use of case studies to stimulate inspirational learning by the students. Alongside this was supervision of 95 undergraduate students, 7 Master and 1 PhD students as Major Supervisor, 16 Master and 8 PhD students as Co-Supervisor, to graduation.
Alongside the teaching profession is engagement in innovative and developmental agricultural research, particularly in collaboration with seasoned researchers in the diverse field of agriculture, with communication of such research outputs, through extension education and strategic communication, to rural farmers for adoption and improved productivity. My passion for human-development research approach has greatly advance research tasks of the core Agricultural Research Scientists beyond exploratory research to impacting research that becomes reflected in terms of transformation of the social and economic status of the farm households, and invariably ensuring food and nutrition security of the larger human society. This was accomplished based on the integration of Rapid and Participatory Research approach in relating with the rural households with a view to having better understanding of their germane needs and in turn use the needs as the information-base for research task to be conducted collaboratively. The research engagement brought about 66 publications in both local and international journals (38), conference proceedings (14) and Book of chapters (14).
Engagement in innovative research has also endowed me the opportunity to up an International Research Fellowship with the Rothamsted Research, North Wyke, Okehampton Devon, United Kingdom where I had a first-hand international research experience on pasture and range management for sustainable ruminant production and farming intensification in collaboration with seasoned researchers in the institute. This experience has exposed me to in-depth knowledge of the UK agriculture and system of production and management. This experience has inbuilt the confidence in me to advance research development in pasture production in collaboration with core research scientists in pasture and range management in the university.
