Dr NAZIR Hussain

I am Dr. Nazir Hussain, a dedicated academic/researcher/ project planner with 42 years of experience in the agriculture field with a particular interest in planning research and development projects for land and water use and rural development. I hold a Ph.D. Degree in Soil Science from the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF), Pakistan. I have two master's Degrees (M.Sc. in Agriculture (UAF) and M. in educational projects Planning and Management from Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad, Pakistan. I have also earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Soil Survey and Land Evaluation from ITC, Netherlands. During my studies and professional employment, I have focused my activities on learning and evolving innovative technologies/solutions that can ensure practicable and sustainable solutions, that are adaptable by the industrial sector to meet future environmental and climatic changes over the globe. I worked in Pakistan, the Sultanate of Oman, and Qatar. 

My key areas of expertise include: 
1. Soil and water salinity         2. Soil and water use          3. Wasteland uses      4. Project planning and Management     5. Rural Development 
6. Climate change   7. Various Impacts on the Environment and its Protection       8. Use of Nanotechnologies for the use of saline water 
9. Land and water feasibility studies   10. Assessment and Evaluation of Projects

I have worked to bridge the gaps between academic and industrial sectors because I believe that real development can only occur if both sectors successfully collaborate. For example, I worked with Qatar Shell and the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture, Qatar in the Food Security Program. My work has led to many significant achievements, such as the completion of five development projects, 128 International publications, 3 Books, book chapters, and innovative techniques. I won the Khalifa International Award of Innovative Agriculture, Dobai in 2012.

I am particularly excited to offer my services on ExpertGate because of its mission to reinvest 50% of its profits into educational programs for underprivileged communities. This is a great attraction for me because it is in line with my commitment to social work and making knowledge accessible to all, especially the lesser privileged. Hence, I am keen to offer my expertise as a consultant and supervisor for impactful projects of agriculture and education. I anxiously look forward to sharing my knowledge and expertise with the global community and audience.

Currently, I am available for consultation of diverse types relevant to innovative technologies, interdisciplinary collaborations, climatic and environmental changes, feasibility studies, and project evaluations. I am enthusiastic to connect with professionals worldwide through ExpertGate, for meaningful help of various stakeholders in the agriculture and education sectors.
