Dr Ravonjiarison’s research focuses on participatory, field-based approaches that integrate local and indigenous soil knowledge with agronomic and environmental sciences. Her work examines farmer-led soil fertility management practices, drawing on extensive field surveys and collaborative research methodologies.
A key area of specialization is ethnopedology, a discipline that investigates farmers’ soil knowledge, classification systems, and soil-related decision-making processes. This research area remains underexplored in Madagascar, where Dr Ravonjiarison’s work contributes to advancing both scientific understanding and applied soil management strategies.
Her current research interests center on farmers’ perceptions and management of soil fertility, with particular attention to carbon sequestration processes and their implications for sustainable land management, climate change mitigation, and agroecosystem resilience.
