Muhuddin Anwar
Dr Muhuddin Anwar (also known as Anwar) has over 20 years’ experience specializing in assessing Agricultural Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental Sustainability, Agricultural Systems Simulation and Climate Change.
Anwar is an agricultural systems modeller in the Climate Impact and Adaptation team. In 1987, he started as an Agricultural Extension Officer (World Bank project) and since then has undertaken several client services roles including research in developing and developed countries like India, New Zealand, Japan, and now in Australia.
Anwar is currently involved in quantification of farmer’s management options, agricultural systems simulation and climate change adaptation for NSW.
