Eric Mensah Kumeh is an Assistant Professor in Forest Resources Management and the Faculty of Land and Food Systems. An interdisciplinary scholar, he studies critical agroforestry and land-use and supply chain governance, including cocoa and coffee. Using decoloniality, equity, and transformation frameworks, he examines how power shapes and is shaped by policies and investments addressing land degradation, biodiversity loss, and historical inequities at the forest farm nexus. His work spans actors and scales, with a focus on the Global South, including Ethiopia, Ghana, and Kenya.
