Emmanuel Sulle joined PLAAS as a Researcher in January 2013. Prior to this appointment he was a Graduate Assistant at the School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, where he investigated the most viable policy options for sustainable business models for biofuels investments in Tanzania. He also researched the national tax regime on tourism investments occurring in communal land in northern Tanzania to establish enabling policy for rural communities to accrue sufficient benefit from these investments.
At the moment Sulle is working on two major research projects covering a number of Southern African countries to examine the impacts of large-scale farming and the institutional arrangements pertaining to land deals. His current research interests lie in exploring viable agricultural business models, land tenure and rural livelihoods. Sulle uses his background in Public Policy and extensive field research in Tanzania to understand best policy options for sustainable agricultural investments.
