A compilation of SLM technologies and approaches in Kenya

ProSoil Kenya has disseminated SLM practices across the Siaya, Bungoma and Kakamege counties: practices for soil fertility management, for water and soil management and infrastructure, for agriculture and agroforestry and for farmer research and extension. 11 practices documented within the activities by ProSoil Kenya are compiled to this document. This document disseminates invaluable knowledge on SLM practices, reinforces the good practices highlighted and supports evidence-based decision-making. It is organized as follows: the context and method used for documentation are described in the first part, categories of SLM practices are presented in the second part, while the final sections of the document describe SLM practices, their implementation mechanisms and their ecological, economic and social benefits.
