Conservation Agriculture

The Conservation Agriculture Project aims to build upon the base knowledge smallholder farmers have gathered through CA training, and incorporate the safe and effective use of Crop Protection Products (CPP) to further increase crop yields and improve family income, health and quality of life.

Planned Research areas:

  1. Mapping CA practices and documenting farmers adaptation experiences in the Mt. Kenya region;
  2. Factors influencing adoption and non-adoption of CA practices;
  3. Cost-Benefit Analysis of CA
