crop-poultry-integrated-systems

This research paper evaluates the impact of integrated crop-poultry systems on food security and farm income for smallholder farmers in semi-arid Kenya, finding that combining livestock (indigenous chickens) with crop-based climate-smart agriculture practices yields higher benefits than single-technology adoption.

• The adoption of improved maize seeds (IS), soil management (SM), indigenous chicken (IC) enterprises, or combinationsS combinations of these practices generally increases farm income and reduces the number of months households experience food insecurity.
• Combining multiple climate-smart agriculture technologies, particularly those incorporating indigenous chickens, results in superior food security and income outcomes compared to the adoption of a single technology. The most significant impacts are seen in the joint adoption of soil management and indigenous chickens (SM & IC) and improved maize seeds and indigenous chickens (IS & IC).
• The study suggests that integrated crop-poultry systems provide synergistic benefits that enhance household welfare and climate resilience, indicating a need for increased research and policy focus on these systems over crop-only climate-smart agriculture practices.
