Spatial distribution and consumption patterns of Woodfuel in Sabatia Division, Kenya
Abstract
In the second phase of the Smallholder Dairy Research and Development Project (SDP), as
well as continuing work in central Kenya, attention will be given to Western Kenya where
lessons learnt from the Central and Coast regions of Kenya will be applied. Western Kenya
shares a number of features that present an opportunity for smallholder dairy research and
development. The climate is favourable for dairy production and average farm sizes are
declining rapidly due to increasing population pressure.
This study follows a sequential process Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis to
identify potential sites, participatory rapid appraisals (PRAs) in the selected sites and
characterization surveys. Each step informs the design and analysis of next study, building each
time a better knowledge and understanding of smallholder agriculture and dairy systems and the
constraints and refining the recommendation domains for the pilot interventions to be selected
with farmers, market agents, regulators and policy makers.
