Jalil Yesufu, PhD

Profile

I am a Research fellow in sustainable farming systems and life cycle assessment  (LCA) in the PigProgram research project at the University of Leeds. My current LCA utilizes data from environmental monitoring equipment on a commercial pig farm to model and validate the impacts of green ammonia harvesting of pig manure. I have consistently applied my expertise to develop models that highlight sustainable pathways in food production and ensure the continuous improvement of farm systems through integration of novel agricultural research. Previous modelling work has covered a range of agricultural activities such as soil carbon modelling, LCA of bioenergy/arable crop integration, bioenergy/livestock integration and LCA of food waste pathways and conversion systems. 

Research interests

Prinicipal research interest lie in the interface of agriculture and energy, sustainable food production and agricultural related systems
