Who uses sustainable land management practices and what are the costs and benefits: insights from Kenya
The research identifies that simple SLM practices like manuring and intercropping provide high benefit-to-cost ratios and positive net present value through 2030, whereas high-cost practices like terraces and agroforestry have lower ratios and longer break-even periods. The study recommends prioritising simple practices in policy while using subsidies and economic measures to support high-cost practices that offer broader societal benefits.
