Relation to Climate Resilience and Adaptation Theme:

The major research activities which I contribute mostly is Mitigation measures to reduce greenhouse gases emissions in the agriculture sector compatible with stable food production since Myanmar faced very often the impacts of climate change like other ASEAN countries. My research work on sustainable soil fertility management practices matches to provide the goal of having 75% healthy soils by 2030. As a member of Environmental Quality standard sub-committee, Institutional strengthening including enactment of National Environmental Protection Law and institutionalization of environmental standards to protect global warming caused by GHGs emission.
