Land is measured to be very crucial to Africa’s profitable means of development, as the largest part of the populations depend on it for their wellbeing. Land disagreements are inevitable, since this is expected to occur while the population pursues their interests on land. This study examines the responsibility undertaken by the African Union framework and Guidelines on Land Policy (AU F&G) in the resolution of land associated conflicts in Kenya.

Pastoral households are increasingly practising fodder production in response to forage scarcity associated with land degradation, climate variability and change. Understanding the grass seed value chain is a prerequisite for developing sustainable fodder production and guiding appropriate out-scaling in the drylands. This study investigated the producers’ perspectives on grass seed production, marketing and challenges faced along the grass seed value chain in Marigat Sub-County of Baringo County, Kenya.

Some rural areas in Kenya are characterized by a combination of low
agricultural potential, high population density, poor market access, and un
conducive institutional setting. Such areas have been classified as suffering
from institutional isolation. This paper analyses the role of institutional
isolation on the adoption of soil conservation technologies and crop
productivity in Machakos and Mbeere districts of Kenya, using survey data.
Multinomial logit and probit models of adoption of soil conservation and

This study attempts to provide a conceptual insight
into the various accounting/legal problems and complications
that arise in the subdivision and distribution of land to
the shareholders by limited liability companies in Kenya.
The highlighting of the various accounting and legal
problems apart, the study also attempt's to provide
prescriptive accounting treatments to the various
problematic land subdivision and distribution circumstances.
The paper starts by providing a chronological account

Change in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) is inevitable and accuracy and time are important
to detect the change in different seasons to monitor trends and status of water quality.
Understanding LULC and Water Quality Parameters (WQP) is necessary for efficient water
management and reduction of operation water treatment cost. Therefore, the effect of
agricultural land uses on water quality in Ndakaini, Gatanga, Muranga County, the LULC and
WQP were analyzed using Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information System (GIS) and

An study was carried out in Kenya to assess the suitab
ility of three promiscuous soybean varieties
(SB19, GAZELLE and TGX1990-5F) intercropped with Mai
ze (Duma 43). A randomised complete
block design was used replicated three times with seven
treatments. The arrangement of
intercropping was 1:1. Data collection included germina
tion %, plant height, days to 50% flowering,
days to 75% maturity, yield biomass per plant, 100 g
rain weight, grain yield, harvest index and Land

Public urban green spaces are useful natural assets that are globally mainstreamed into practice as one of the nature-based solutions to counter the urban areas challenges such as climate change. Using Michuki Memorial Park as a case study, the study sought to assess dynamics of urban land space contestation and their implications on utilization of public green spaces.

Land conservation technologies used by farmers are known to play an important role in improving farm incomes and household welfare in the long run. For this reason substantial investments have been made in research to improve agricultural technologies in various parts of the world, from the development of new crop varieties to new practices of land management. This paper explores the impact of land rights among other factors on adoption of soil and water conservation practices.

Background. This study examines an intervention strategy to reduce the risk of chromium (Cr) exposure. It follows a previous Cr exposure investigation, which revealed that large volumes of Cr-contaminated waste were burnt on site. The study site had a long history of land-based waste disposal since 1994.

Objective. The potential for phytoremediation using bamboo species to restore Cr-contaminated soil was evaluated.

Strong gradients of decreasing soil fertility are found with increasing distance from the homestead within smallholder farms in Vihiga-Kenya. Nutrient use efficiency varies strongly between fields along these gradients of soil fertility. There is continuous accumulation of nutrients in areas around the homestead at the expense of nutrient depletion in further and larger fields. Unequal distribution of nutrients on the farm causes differences in yield with more yields being obtained in some areas on the farm than others.
