Blogs

I write regularly on topics related to agricultural policy, research methods, science communication, and personal reflections on academia and books. My blogs appear in platforms such as Agricultural Extension in South Asia (AESA), Down to Earth, AGRINEWS, and my personal blog at adityarao.wordpress.com.
