Primitiva Andrea Mboyerwa was hosted by USDA ARS Columbia Plateau Agriculture Research Center (Soil and Water conservation Research Center, Pendleton City, Oregon State, USA
She worked under the project titled “Assessing Impact of Cover Crop on Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emission in dryland rainfed wheat in great Pacific in Oregon.
She was trained on hands on skills in area of greenhouse gas emission sampling, laboratory analysis and data interpretation

As climate Smart Agriculture expert, she was able to explore and visit two very important oceans that have great contribution to climate system which are Pacific Ocean (in Corvalis, New Port) and Atlantic
Ocean (via Charlestone City, South Carolina). Oceans influences weather and climate by storing solar radiation, distributing heat and moisture around the globe, and driving weather systems.
Output: She developed the protocol for greenhouse gas (GHG) sampling in farming systems that will be used in improving GHG flux monitoring in agricultural soils.
