    Conventional livestock farming provides consumers with cheap and reliable sources of milk and meat. Yet the inevitable by-product, i.e. livestock faecal matter, represents a potential source of pathogenic microorganisms. This paper applies the Faecal Indicator Organisms Costing Assessment Tool (FIOCAT), which was designed as part of the RELU project ‘sustainable and holistic food chains for recycling livestock waste to land’, to examine the costs associated with mitigation methods that may inhibit pathogenic transfers to water.

    Land is a critical resource in Kenya, having economic, social, political,
    environmental and cultural significance. Kenya’s population continues to rely
    on land for both subsistence and economic activities. In fact, the increase
    of the population from about 20 million people in the 1960s to about 40
    million currently, has put enormous pressure on land. Only a third of Kenya’s
    land is arable while the rest is arid and semi-arid. With most Kenyans still
    living off the land, contestations over access to, control over and ownership

    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,

    The study discusses land-degradation in pastoral communities and depicts land-use system and associated human and livestock population pressure as the major determinant of vegetation cover, surface run-off, soil erosion, and species richness. The study recommends use of enclosures to reverse range degradation, and diversification of pastoral economies to reduce poverty and relieve pressure on land as the primary source of livelihood in the semi-arid rangelands of Kenya

    The study was undertaken to investigate how land use and soil fertility management practices affect the occurrence of nematode destroying fungi. The aim of the study was to harness the potential of these fungi to control the plant parasitic nematodes in the study area which is a very important vegetable catchment in the Coast Province of Kenya

    The elements of Land Administration in Kenya are very fragmented and independently operated
    within the Ministry of Lands. During institutional reform there is opportunity to provide a much
    more integrated Land Administration service to the citizens, especially at the district level
    through the formation of ‘one-stop-shops’, through the integration and rationalization of the
    existing land administration and land rights delivery systems.
    This project report highlights the benefits offered through the application of GIS in management

    This research paper evaluates land tenure and land registration process in Maua
    Location of Meru North district of Kenya. It comes at a time when Kenyans are
    pressurizing the government increasingly to issue title deeds not only at the Coast
    province but also all over the country (GoK -Ministry of Lands). Maua Location is of
    concern owing to the fact that the land registration process has been on going since
    1966. This is a long time (43 years) for the land registration process not to have been

    Survey of Kenya is the country's institution charged with the
    responsibility of collecting, checking, storing and disseminating Land
    parcel related records.
    Of late efforts have been made to digitize these records and form a
    database. However the majority of the records are in paper form.
    Dissemination of this data, done through a search, is still manual. The
    public fill a search form and pay a small fee, and the records are
    reproduced to them in form of a filled and dully signed form or map or
