Overview
Humphrey Agevi has vast experience in teaching at the university level and research that spans several years. His research and teaching experience spans the area of forest-agriculture interface with a focus on agroforestry, climate change mitigation, adaptation, nature-based solutions (NbS), loss and damage, and community resilience. He has won some grants as a principal investigator and as a co-investigator. He is a key contributor to the development of several national and international peer-reviewed journals, books, conference papers, proceedings, and presentations. He has experience in computer proficiency with extensive MS Office, GIS, Remote Sensing and Biodiversity R.
"Research is the ultimate solution to addressing the global problems humanity is facing currently. Sustainable investment in research through innovative funding especially for early career researchers should be given the utmost attention who develop innovative solutions and save Mother Nature from becoming extinct.

This study aimed to evaluate AGC stocks and their functional relationship with tree species diversity in Kakamega and North Nandi Forests, Kenya. A nested approach was adopted in sampling aboveground vegetation for biomass estimation in least disturbed, transformed, and disturbed sites.

This paper reviews a number of studies done in quantification of biomass and soil carbon stocks in agroforestry within tropics. Most appropriate method employed in determination of carbon stock changes is through use of allometric equations.

The study aimed to determine the trade-offs in tree species selection and carbon offsets on farms in the margins of the Kakamega - Nandi Forest Ecosystem. It employed a nested experimental design where the study area was divided into three 3x1 km sentinel blocks.
