    “…Methods We used a large dataset representing 3384 cropping situations (site x season x treatment) from four long-term experiments in Kenya. Each experiment included the same treatments with the addition of two quantities of low- to high-quality organic resource amendments (high vs low C/N ratio, respectively), with (+N) and without (-N) mineral nitrogen fertilizer. …”

  3. Agricultural sustainability and financial inclusion through warehouse receipts: A baseline study from Uasin Gishu and Bungoma por Kenduiywo, Benson, Koech, Grace, Ngige, Chris Mwangi, Odhiambo, Kizito, Ambani, Lilian, Ngetich, Felix K.

    Publicado 2025
    “…This baseline study assessed the implementation of the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) and its influence on agricultural sustainability and financial inclusion among 200 smallholder farmers cultivating maize and soybean in Uasin Gishu and Bungoma counties, Kenya. The study focused on storage practices, WRS awareness and use, post-harvest losses, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) adoption, financial behaviour, and digital access. …”

  4. Interplay of individual and food environment factors shaping diets in the Kisumu urban informal settlements por Musita, Consolata Nolega, Ngala, Sophia, Abong, George, Akingbemisilu, Tosin Harold, Termote, Celine

    Publicado 2025
    “…Methodology We focus on women of reproductive age (15–49 years) and children aged 6–23 months in four informal settlements in Kisumu, Kenya. Using a cross-sectional design, we mapped food vendors and conducted household surveys ( n = 510) to assess socio-demographic characteristics, food shopping behavior, and dietary intake. …”

  5. Reversibility of soil productivity decline with organic matter of differing quality along a degradation gradient por Kimetu, J., Lehmann, Johannes, Ngoze, S., Mugendi, D., Kinyangi, James, Riha, S., Verchot, Louis V., Recha, John W.M., Pell, A.

    Publicado 2008
    “…In the highlands of Western Kenya, we investigated the reversibility of soil productivity decline with increasing length of continuous maize cultivation over 100 years (corresponding to decreasing soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient contents) using organic matter additions of differing quality and stability as a function of soil texture and inorganic nitrogen (N) additions. …”

  7. Tree age and soil phosphorus conditions influence N2-fixation rates and soil N dynamics in natural populations of Acacia senegal por Isaac, M.E., Harmand, J.M., Lesueur, Didier, Lelon, J

    Publicado 2011
    “…Our research objectives were to investigate the effect of tree age and site phosphorus conditions on (1) tree N2-fixation and (2) soil N and C dynamics in natural stands of A. senegal var. senegal, Baringo District, in the Rift Valley, Kenya. Sites consisted of A. senegal saplings (9 months) and mature A. senegal trees (7 years) along an edaphic gradient of soil P availability. …”

  8. From crossbreeding to biotechnology-facilitated improvement of banana and plantain por Ortíz, R., Swennen, Rony L.

    Publicado 2014
    “…In spite of recent advances, the genetic improvement of Musa depends on a few crossbreeding programs (based in Brazil, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Guadeloupe, Honduras, India, Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda) or a handful of genetic engineering endeavors (Australia, Belgium, India, Kenya, Malaysia and Uganda). Development investors (namely international aid and philanthropy) should therefore increase their funding to genetically enhance this crop that ranks among the 10-top staple foods of the developing world.…”
