On 4 December 2019, Mr. Jonathan Steinke defended his dissertation at the Faculty of Life Sciences at Humboldt-University of Berlin, and is now entitled to bear the title “Dr. rer. agr.”
The ongoing mobile phone revolution across the developing world offers a diversity of new opportunities for communication between smallholder farmers and agricultural advisory services. With proper methods, the strong heterogeneity among farmers – an important challenge for advisory services – could become a resource. In his cumulative doctoral thesis, Mr. Steinke tested three novel methodological concepts for systematic, mutual information exchange between smallholder farmers and advisory services through the mobile phone. At ZALF, Mr Steinke has been affiliated with the SUSLAND working group since 2016.
