The objective of the study was to find out the factors influencing land prices in Nakuru County. This was prompted by the recent upsurge of land prices in the country and the researcher was particularly interested in Nakuru County. The real estate sector experiences a series of booms and busts and it was therefore important to find out what is causing them.

The magnitude and trend of temperature and rainfall extremes as indicators of climate variability and change were investigated in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) of Kenya using in-situ measurements and gridded climate proxy datasets, and analysed using the Gaussian-Kernel analysis and the Mann-Kendall statistics. The results show that the maximum and minimum temperatures have been increasing, with warmer temperatures being experienced mostly at night time.

During the last forty years, the economic and demographic structure of Kenya has become increasingly urban. In
the 1980s the urban population in the country grew at over
6.5 percent a year, more than double the rate for the
rural population. This expansion has occurred even under the most adverse conditions of repressed urban
investment, as was the case during the 1990s.

Presently, urban areas account for the predominant
share of

The ability of an organization to implement strategy successfully is important. While it is
the desire of every organisation to keep abreast with changing times and demands in the
environment, it is accepted that having strategic plans on paper and donor conferences is
very different from the on-ground implementation exercise To identify the challenges of
strategy implementation, a case study of Indigenous Information Network was conducted.
The study aimed to answer two research questions: what were the challenges of strategy

In order to make ends meet, many poor urban households in sub-Saharan Africa fall back on farming activities, either within the city boundaries or in the rural areas from which they come. The central question raised in this article is whether access to farmland influences a household's food situation. The findings come from a study on urban agriculture in Korogocho, one of two slum areas in Nairobi, Kenya, where a survey was conducted in 1994.

Pythium is a water mould fungus which survive as a parasite, saprophyte or both. Pythium
spp. play important ecological services like recycling of both Carbon and mineral
nutrients for continued plant growth. Members of this genus are ubiquitous and found in
soil, water, plants and animal substrate. Spatial distribution and species diversity of
Pythium were studied with aim of determining the effects of intensive agricultural
practices on distribution and diversity. Agricultural intensification interferes with the

Land subdivision has reduced land for agricultural production resulting in its intensive cultivation. This has lowered soil fertility which has contributed to reduction in the diversity of African Leafy Vegetables thus restricting the otherwise traditional dietary diversity that was once beneficial to smallholder farmers. As land continues to decline, there needs to be some impetus in place that can retain the diversity of African Leafy Vegetables.

Kimana Group Ranch (KGR) is a critical wildlife dispersal area for Amboseli National Park in Kenya. But
irrigated agriculture in the group ranch is leading to increased conflicts and competition for land and other critical
resources. This study used semi – structured interviews with group ranch members on their interactions with wildlife,
resource use and access, land use changes and livelihoods. Most group ranch members practiced agriculture as opposed to

When the Canadian company Bedford Biofuels (BB) started talks with local ranch owners in Tana Delta district (Kenya) about subleasing their land for a large jatropha plantation, they were not the first ones to come to the region for a large-scale agricultural project. Nor were they the first to explore the possibilities of starting a jatropha plantation in Kenya’s coastal area.

Determining an appropriate allocation of land between alternative competing uses is a fun-damental problem that continues to be a challenge in many developing countries. Amboseli Ecosystem, one of Kenya’s rangelands has been experiencing changes in its economic activi-ties. Traditionally pastoralism and wildlife conservation has been the key source of livelihood for people in the ecosystem. Crop production is a more recent economic activity being inte-grated in the ecosystem. These changes are attributable to the macro and micro economic, social and demographic factors.
