Hussein M. Sulieman is a professor at the Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems at the University of Gadarif, Sudan. His research focuses on a range of issues, including rainfed agricultural systems, pastoralism, natural resource management, climate change adaptation, land degradation, food security, and conflict-related land use dynamics. He has a particular interest in the intersection of land tenure, displacement, environmental sustainability, and resilience in conflict-affected regions.
Sulieman has led and collaborated on numerous national and international research projects, working with organizations such as FIC, ILRI, SPARC, UNEP, UNHCR, IFAD, and CMI. He has authored over 60 publications, covering topics such as land degradation, farmer-herder conflicts, climate vulnerability, and the resilience of pastoralist systems. His recent publications have examined the effects of large-scale land acquisitions on communal rangelands, the environmental consequences of mechanized agriculture, and the role of pastoral mobility in mitigating climate risks.
Beyond his academic roles, he provides consultancy services on climate resilience, sustainable land management, and food security in fragile environments. His contributions to institutional research collaborations have helped shape policies and interventions aimed at improving land governance, strengthening rural livelihoods, and promoting conflict-sensitive natural resource management in Sudan and the wider Horn of Africa.
