Safdar Bashir is working as a research scholar at the Department of Soil and Water Systems, University of Idaho. Over the years, my research has spanned several key areas, including climate change, soil health, climate smart agriculture, and sustainable soil and water management. I have a particular interest in the use of climate smart technologies to enhance crop productivity and soil health. I have been fortunate to publish over 60 peer-reviewed articles in international journals, and my research has been widely cited, with an h-index of 25. I have also edited books and co-authored several book chapters and have presented my work at national and international conferences.
