Moussa Gnissien holds of a diploma in Rural Development Engineering / Agronomy and a Master's degree in Integrated Management of Natural Resources / Integrated Management of Soil Fertility speciality from the Institute of Rural Development UNB - Nazi Boni University. He is currently a doctoral student in Soil Science at Nazi Boni University. In this capacity, he is a part of the SustainSahel project, more specifically in Work Package 5: Impact of tree/shrub intercropping on soil ecology. Agroforestry was a major focus during his experience in engineering (shea parks) and Master's degree focussing on agroforestry as an agro-ecological practice. Agricultural research, and more specifically soil science research, is his passion that started in the second grade during winter fieldwork.
His PhD thesis work consists of determining the effects of different densities of five tree and shrub species on soil and crop yields. This work, which is being carried out on the station and on the farm, should make it possible to propose optimal densities of trees and shrubs that increase soil productivity. In the future, he aspires to enter the world of teaching or research and to contribute to training and rural development.
