Economics of soil organic carbon in Western Kenya

The report provides evidence that adopting Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices, such as Conservation Agriculture (CA) and Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM), benefits smallholder farming systems in Western Kenya by addressing soil fertility loss and enhancing carbon sequestration potential.

• The adoption of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices provides clear benefits for smallholder farming systems in Western Kenya.
• Small-scale subsistence agriculture in Western Kenya is marked by low inputs and yields, which results in rapid degradation and loss of soil fertility, subsequently harming income security and food production.
• Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices are noted for their ability to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, which aids in the mitigation of climate change.
