The study finds that integrating indigenous chicken enterprises with crop-based climate-smart agriculture practices, such as improved maize seeds and soil management, significantly increases farm income and reduces food insecurity for smallholder farmers in semi-arid Kenya compared to adopting single technologies.

• Adopting a combination of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies, particularly those incorporating indigenous chickens, results in superior income and food security outcomes compared to the adoption of a single technology.
• The adoption of improved maize seeds (IS), soil management (SM), indigenous chicken (IC) enterprises, and their combinations generally increases farm income and decreases the number of months households experience food shortages.
• The most significant positive impacts on household welfare and food security are observed when soil management is combined with indigenous chickens (SM & IC) or when improved maize seeds are combined with indigenous chickens (IS & IC).
