Although soil fertility is recognized as a primary constraint to agricultural production in developing countries, use of fertilizer in Sub-Saharan Africa is declining. Smallholder farmers still rely heavily on livestock manure for soil fertility management. To explore the determinants of soil f...


Staal, Steven J.Romney, D.L.Baltenweck, IsabelleWaithaka, M.M.Muriuki, H.Njoroge, L.[Spatial analysis of soil fertility management using integrated household and GIS data from smallholder Kenyan farms]Spatial analysis of soil fertility management using integrated household and GIS data from smallholder Kenyan farms

This chapter focuses on an on-going DFID-funded project in Kenya to adapt and develop the Farmer Field School methodology specifically for livestock, and particularly for smallholder dairy production, focusing on animal health and production issues. On-going project activities are discussed, and ...
