    Land is a critical resource in Kenya, having economic, social, political,
    environmental and cultural significance. Kenya’s population continues to rely
    on land for both subsistence and economic activities. In fact, the increase
    of the population from about 20 million people in the 1960s to about 40
    million currently, has put enormous pressure on land. Only a third of Kenya’s
    land is arable while the rest is arid and semi-arid. With most Kenyans still
    living off the land, contestations over access to, control over and ownership

    Coastal Kenya is a food deficit area producing only 20 percent of its
    food requirement and is referred to as a net importer of food.
    However, technologies that can improve food production in the area
    exist and continue being developed. These technologies include:
    deep tillage, timely planting, use of green manure, animal manure •
    and fertilizer application.
    Social capital refers to the various social relationships and networks

    Cenchrus ciliaris L. (African foxtail grass) and Eragrostis superba Peyr. (Maasai lovegrass) grass
    species that are native to the rangelands have been promoted for rehabilitation of degraded areas
    and improve forage production. A major challenge to successful reseeding of the rangelands has
    been lack of certified seeds of these species in the formal seed systems except through collections
    from the wild. The main objective of the study was to contribute to improved livestock production

    Tropical rainforests are characterized by habitat stability and complexity. Hence, the forests
    support a rich biological diversity, including 40% of all bird species. However, these rain
    forests have been shrinking due to increasing rate of deforestation, fragmentation, and other
    forms of resource exploitation. Degradation and loss of rainforests has threatened their rich
    biological diversity and the life-support systems. However, the rate at which birds are
    displaced by forest clearing and the potential for birds' conservation on farmlands are not

    This study was motivated by the need to understand the interplay
    between cotton farming in Barwessa and household food security
    in the area.
    The study was centered on three main objectives:
    • To examine the extent to which subsistence farming is affected by
    cotton,
    • To identify the relationship between levels of household food security
    in relation to income and expenditure,
    • To investigate women's access to income from cotton production, their
    food production and food security roles,

    In the past mines were abandoned after mining activities leaving undesired effects on the landscape and water sources. Numerous accidents occur in quarries across Kenya leading to deaths of 30 people annually. Mining is an activity presenting a plethora of environmental, social and economic problems thus using abandoned quarries as sites for new construction is a useful form of reclamation, one that has occurred throughout history.

    The study was carried out on twelve runoff
    plots installed at Kabete Campus Field Station,
    University of Nairobi, on a 10% natural slope of
    eutric Nitisol to assess the effect of grass strips
    in controlling soil loss and runoff on sloping land.
    Four treatments, a control plot without grass strip
    and three different widths (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m.) of
    Nandi setaria (Setaria anceps), were tested under
    natural rainfall during 1982 and 1983, simulated
    runoff, and simulated rainfall of 80 mm/hr.
