She is working on the design and optimization of novel organic template assisted nano-fertilizers to enhance potato production in Atlantic Canada and beyond.  This is a five-year research project funded by the Agriculture, Aquaculture & Fisheries, Government of New Brunswick in collaboration with Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, Canada. 

The conference provided a valuable platform to engage in discussions around bio-circular economy, Agri-tech innovation, and climate-resilient farming practices.
