Dr. Isaac Balume is a Researcher affiliated with the Professorship for Sustainable Agroecosystems at ETH Zurich’s Department of Environmental Systems Science. His work focuses on soil fertility, microbial processes, and agroecological adaptations to climate change in sub-Saharan Africa.
- Education:
- PhD in Science, University of Hohenheim (2015–2022)
- Master in Soil Science, University of Nairobi (2013–2021)
- Bachelor in Crop Science, Université Catholique de Bukavu (2004–2009)
His research integrates soil biophysical and socio-economic assessments to design resilient farming systems. Current projects include the CANNALS initiative, analyzing GHG emissions and land-use transitions in East/Central Africa. Methodologies involve experimental and farm-participatory approaches to evaluate soil health and biodiversity.
Key topics: Soil fertility indicators (SOC, TN, AvP), microbial biodiversity (nutrifying bacteria/archaea), and climate-smart agricultural practices.
