Mr. Temam Mama | Agroforestry | Research Excellence Award
Researcher | Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center | Ethiopia
Temam Mama Ayano is a researcher specializing in agroforestry, soil management, and forest resource assessment, with a strong focus on sustainable land-use systems in tropical and termite-affected ecosystems. His research centers on multipurpose tree performance, integrated termite management, soil fertility dynamics, bamboo adaptation, and ecosystem-based agricultural resilience, with emerging interests in watershed management and organic soil amendments. He has served as a researcher at the Oromia Agricultural Research Institute, Haro Sabu Agricultural Research Center, since 2013 and currently contributes as a focal person for major development and climate-resilient agriculture projects, including CALM P4R and AECSAM initiatives. His key contributions include field-validated agroforestry innovations, soil fertility evaluation frameworks, and region-specific tree adaptation models that support sustainable agriculture and forestry policy. Through applied research and scientific publications, his work advances climate-smart agroforestry practices, strengthens food and ecosystem security, and supports scalable solutions for sustainable rural development.
