Its purpose is toinform agronomists and other project partners on the existing crop and livestock productionsetups in the project intervention sites and to help determine to what extent the interactionbetween crop and livestock subsystems could potentially facilitate or hinder the adoption ofconservation agricultural practices. A number of institutions and individuals contributed invarious ways in the production of this baseline information and deserve acknowledgement.The authors would thus like to acknowledge EU-IFAD for funding the project, the KenyanAgricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KARLO)-Embu and Kakamega Centersfor facilitating the overall implementation of the study, which involved household andcommunity surveys on which this report is based.
