    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.

    An study was carried out in Kenya to assess the suitability of three promiscuous soybean varieties
    (SB19, GAZELLE and TGX1990-5F) intercropped with Maize (Duma 43). A randomised complete
    block design was used replicated three times with seven treatments. The arrangement of
    intercropping was 1:1. Data collection included germination %, plant height, days to 50% flowering,
    days to 75% maturity, yield biomass per plant, 100 grain weight, grain yield, harvest index and Land

    Change in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) is inevitable and accuracy and time are important
    to detect the change in different seasons to monitor trends and status of water quality.
    Understanding LULC and Water Quality Parameters (WQP) is necessary for efficient water
    management and reduction of operation water treatment cost. Therefore, the effect of
    agricultural land uses on water quality in Ndakaini, Gatanga, Muranga County, the LULC and
    WQP were analyzed using Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information System (GIS) and

    This study focuses on the influence of miraa (Catha edulis) production on land-use patterns in Mbeere South Sub-County, Embu County. It was borne out of the need to interrogate the phenomenon of invasive and unregulated land-use practices, particularly agricultural practices that have far-reaching spatial and socio-economic implications on livelihoods; and seek mechanisms to safeguard rural areas from negative consequences emanating from the same.
