He has many scientific publications in his field of specialization. His fields include organic agriculture (the role of organic agriculture in achieving sustainable development and soil conservation) - raising the efficiency of mineral and organic fertilizers (by following methods and techniques in the fields of addition and manufacturing) - the impact of the result of using organic and mineral fertilizers on the physical and chemical properties of the soil - in addition to studying the expected effects on the environment. He is currently working on linking the impact of agricultural activity and climate change by supervising some graduation projects for graduate students (master's) in the department. The project to study the emissions of nitrogen oxide and methane gases resulting from the addition of fresh animal waste to the soil is considered one of the most important current projects of Mr. Abdel Hakim, as the link is made between the emission rates of these gases and the quantities and awareness of animal waste added to the soil. He has many contributions through supervising scientific activities inside and outside the college, the most recent of which was as head of the preparatory committee for the first scientific conference on palm development, which was held on October 10, 2023 in the city of Hun/Jufra.
