Automation: Automated data extraction using web scraping and PDF parsing with regular expressions to streamline information processing. Use of automation software such as Make.com.

Evidence Synthesis:

• · Assisted consultants with data extraction, entry, and quality control on data of more than 1,400 scientific papers on crop and livestock experiments.

• · Designed the extraction process and extracted data on climate adaptation strategies for 600 agricultural projects and 1,200 stakeholders across 10 countries of Africa. Use of google form.

• · Wrote a report and policy brief on agroecology solutions against climate hazards in the Dry Corridor, summarizing current evidence. Taxonomy:

• · Developed a taxonomy of livestock diets classifying feed components and processing methods.

• · Built a taxonomy of farm and off farm adaptation strategies against climate hazards for adaptation tracking. Data Management and Visualization: Summarized ERA's dataset into a Systematic Map published in Nature Scientific Data, synthetizing key insights from 2,000 papers about agriculture in Africa. Use of R. Workflow Automation: Explored tools for integrating AI to automate tasks like article screening and tagging, reporting on feasibility and cost-effectiveness. Trained colleagues on these AI workflows. Use of Excel, Google Sheets, R and Python.

• · Data Analysis: Applied Bayesian Statistics to predict pistachio yields in California, including model building and efficiency assessments. Use of R.

• · Climate Data: Processed climate data and calculated climate indicators and variables for analysis. Use of R.
