Dr Fenji Materecher a-Mitochi has a PhD degree in Science from the University of the Witwatersrand and an MSc degree in Geography from the then Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. Her PhD research with a dissertation titled Farming systems in South Africa beyond 2020: a scenario-based study, using systems analysis, of the connectivity between farming systems in the Vhembe district, Limpopo, South Africa has produced multiple, high-quality research publications. Her primary research training is in human geography and environmental sciences with broader research interests around sustainability science, agricultural farming systems, food systems, governance in agricultural systems and the application of systems analysis as a tool to solve complex problems. Her current research work is focused on the land-water and agricultural nexus and positioned at the farm scale. She has strengths in applied qualitative research methods and community engagement.
She is currently actively engaged in the implementation of a 3-year WRC-funded project working with farmers and institutional actors in the agricultural value chain under the title: Governance and institutional arrangements for accelerating equity in the water-land-agricultural nexus: A case study of resource poor farmers in smallholder irrigation schemes in the Lower Sundays River and Great Fish River catchments. She supervises a PhD student under this project.
