Charles Nwokoro

Dr. Charles Nwokoro is a Professor in the Sustainable Agroecosystems Professorship at ETH Zürich. His research focuses on agroecology, sustainable agriculture, and food security, with a particular emphasis on tropical crop systems and urban food dynamics. He leads initiatives such as the Nutrition in City Ecosystems (NICE) project, aiming to enhance food security in secondary cities through multi-sectoral approaches. His work integrates digital tools, intercropping strategies, and socioeconomic analyses to address challenges in crop productivity and nutrition access.

Key research areas include cassava-maize intercropping systems, biological weed control, and the adoption of improved agricultural technologies by smallholder farmers. He explores how digital innovations can transform urban food production and distribution. His projects often involve collaborative frameworks across institutions in Africa and Asia.

Selected publications highlight his contributions to understanding crop performance, pest management, and the socio-economic determinants of food practices in marginalized communities. While no specific grants or awards are listed, his work aligns with global efforts to achieve sustainable development goals in agriculture and nutrition.
