Biography
My name is Abdirahman Yusuf Osman, and I am a dedicated poultry farmer, content creator, video editor, and graphic designer based in Mogadishu, Somalia. I have a strong passion for animal husbandry and agricultural development, and I’m committed to improving the livestock sector in Somalia.
I completed my secondary education at Imamu Shaafici School – Sheikh Ali Suufi Branch, and in 2021, I joined the Somali National University to continue my higher education. Over the years, I have gained both academic knowledge and practical experience in poultry farming and management.
I have also worked in poultry vaccination, where I gained valuable skills in disease control and poultry health improvement. This experience strengthened my commitment to promoting healthier and more productive poultry farming in Somalia.
Besides farming, I use my digital creativity to educate and inspire others through content creation, video editing, and graphic design. My goal is to empower Somali youth to see opportunities in livestock farming and agribusiness while contributing to the growth of our agricultural industry.
I aspire to become a veterinary professional who supports livestock farmers, enhances animal health, and helps build a sustainable future for Somali agriculture.
