Preliminary results from climate change adaptation and mitigation initiatives in the Nyando climate-smart villages. Key messages include: shift in farming techniques reduces number of households eating one or no meals each day, households adopt three to five crop innovations and above, greatly ex...

Hoima is located in western Uganda east of Lake Albert, on a landscape that is generally undulating with relatively flat low lying area alternating with broad hills. The area has a population density of 160 persons per square kilometer, with 22% of the people living below the poverty line. The ar...

This Info Note presents an exploration of CSA scaling options in the Nyando Basin area of Kisumu and Kericho Counties in Kenya, through partnerships in the value chain. It is part of the NWO-CCAFS research project “Climate-Smart Financial Diaries for Scaling in the Nyando Basin, Kenya”, led by th...

Agricultural systems in Eastern Africa are mainly rainfed and highly vulnerable to climate change and variability. Climate-related risks include variable rainfall patterns, prolonged dry spells, and extreme events such as droughts and floods, and have become more frequent and severe, negatively a...

Agriculture in Kenya contributes to the national economy, food security, and employment of rural households. Climate change and weather variability affect agricultural production negatively and it is expected to worsen in the future. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices present an opportunit...

Kenyan smallholder farmers are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including increased temperatures and variability in precipitation, which results in shorter growing seasons in most areas of East Africa (Adhikari et al. 2015). One strategy for adapting to these climactic changes is to u...

Climate change poses serious threats to smallholder farmers in Uganda. For instance, rains often start late in the season and end early, reducing the growing season. Increasing and maintaining genetic diversity is one way of combatting these climatic change-related threats (IPCC, 2014). Farmers o...
