The study identifies the challenges for pasture farming in the African Drylands that cover 11% of global land surface and sustain a population of 350 million people. As natural forage is increasingly insufficient to sustain the pastoralist livestock economy, pasture farming is emerging. Here farmers sow native grasses to enhance fodder availability – this is done with a range of local water harvesting methods, including using Green Roads for Water.

We have collaborated with Utrecht University, the County Government of Kitui, Kyoto University and South Eastern Kenya University in the development of a new scientific publication: "Pasture Farming for Climate Change Adaptation in a Semi‑arid Dryland in Kenya: Status, Challenges and Opportunities".The study identifies the challenges for pasture farming in the African Drylands that cover 11% of global land surface and sustain a population of 350 million people. As natural forage is increasingly insufficient to sustain the pastoralist livestock economy, pasture farming is emerging.
