    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,

    This chapter presents and discusses the causes of land degradation, and ways of sustainable land development and agricultural productivity. The evidence presented here suggests several avenues for achieving a world without land degradation. First, efforts to promote sustainable land management need to improve locally and nationally. Second, instead of focusing solely on fertilizer subsidies, countries should use broader and more cost-effective incentives to encourage farmers to adopt integrated soil fertility management.

    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.

    Declining size of the farm holdings in most high agricultural potential areas as a result of continuous land fragmentation is currently a major policy concern in Kenya. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of land fragmentation and agro-ecological zones (AEZs) on food security and farm efficiency in Kenya. The study used data collected from 384 farm-households that were randomly selected from three AEZs in the Embu County, using a multistage stratified sampling technique.

    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.

    Irregular and Illegal allocation of land is a major component of the land question is in Kenya.
    The land question is a major rhetoric as it is not one issue but a myriad of issues entrenched in
    archaic, pre colonial administrative methods and systems which led to lack of transparency and
    abuse of high held offices in the self interest of individuals as pertaining to land. The targets for
    fulfilling such self interests were public land and land that could not be acknowledged by law for

    The impact of land use and cover change on soil quality and pasture production was investigated in the rangelands of Nakasongola District, Uganda. Landsat (TM) images of 1986 and 1990 and Landsat (ETM+) of 2000 and 2004 for Nakasongola District were used to determine the extent and patterns of land use and cover change using the Integrated Land and Water Information Systems (ILWIS) 3.6 software.

    This study conducts an academic and practical surgery of the problem of land rights
    administration in the pre-colonial, colonial, independent and modern Kenya. At the core of the
    statement of the problem of the study lie issues of land tenure and sanctity of land titles in
    Kenya. Amazingly, the issues that form the nuclei of the “Land Question” in Kenya are closely
    intertwined with the socio-economic and political climate prevailing in the country. Hence, the
    study confronts the problem from the policy, legal-constitutional and institutional dimensions.

    This study evaluates the potential effects of changes in climate, population and land cover on the
    quantity of surface water and groundwater resources in Lake Nakuru and Lake Elmenteita areas.
    Multiple linear regression analysis of the variables was done using Statistical Package for Social
    Sciences (SPSS) to achieve this objective. Population grows in the area at the rate of 3.4% to
    4.5% while natural vegetation cover is diminishing at 2.5% annually. There is constant rise in

    The intent of this study was to examine the impact of
    changing land use patterns on the numbers and distribution
    of livestock and wild herbivores in the Tana River District,
    Kenya.
    A multi-method approach of aerial surveys,
    questionnaires, interviews and secondary data sources were
    employed to realize the objectives.
    Results indicate that changes in land use patterns and
    types have created conflicts that led to the reduction of
    the range and affected distribution of pastoral livestock
