Financing Large-Scale Mitigation by Smallholder Farmers: What Roles for Public Climate Finance?
Kenya’s dairy processors have begun to invest in providing extension services to small holder dairy farmers in their own supply chains. Investment has positive returns for both processors and farmers.
Each processor is developing their own model of extension service delivery and financing that co...

Private-sector led extension in Kenya’s dairy sector
Kenya’s dairy processers are increasingly paying attention to energy efficiency in their operations. This is driven by a squeeze on profit margins due to falling international milk prices and high domestic production costs, and energy efficiency requirements of newly enforced regulations on large...

Feed and fodder production, supply and feeding practices are among the most important constraints on the development of the Kenyan dairy industry. Increasing fodder supply, supported by advice provided to farmers on feed ration balancing has great potential to enable farmers to increase on- farm ...

Southwest China s Yunnan province has been affected throughout history by climate-induced water stresses, with the 2009 drought as a recent example. To deal with such stresses, mountain farmers have developed many local coping strategies. This paper provides case studies of these coping mechanism...

Balancing the need to increase crop yields with the need to reduce the environmental impacts of fertilizers will pose major policy, regulatory, and extension challenges for China. A growing number of studies have demonstrated the potential for improving fertilizer use efficiency in China, but it ...

Degradation of steppes induced by overgrazing may affect the uptake of atmospheric methane (CH4) by soil sinks. However, uncertainty is associated with the very limited knowledge of gas fluxes in rapidly degrading steppe. In this study, we investigated the effects of grazing on CH4 uptake during ...

The dairy sector is the largest single sub-sector within Kenya‘s agricultural sector, contributing about 14% of agricultural GDP and 3.5% of total GDP. With population growth, urbanization and rising incomes, consumption demand for milk is projected to increase significantly. If this is met from ...
