Azeez Yusuf is a Professional Natural Scientist. He is a lecturer at Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. His research focus on sustainable livestock production to curb food insecurity; alternative feeding in a ruminant animal in the face of recent climatic changes, mitigation of methane production in ruminants through the administration of plants plants extract and organic compound supplementation in animals and use of organic acids as phytobiotics and growth enhancer as against conventional antibiotics. He has served as a postdoctoral fellow at North West University, Mafikeng, South Africa and recently bagged an international Diploma in Animal Feed, PTC, AERES, Netherlands.
Azeez aspires to contibute to sustainable food production and safety through research in the tropical and sub tropical regions and the whole world at large despite the challenging climate.
