Teaching philosophy
Teaching is most effective when theory and practice meet. My approach emphasizes applied learning, critical engagement with real-world challenges, and interdisciplinary perspectives that prepare students to address sustainability issues in agriculture and food systems.— Khondokar H. Kabir, PhD
