Kenya has been ahead of many other countries in developing a national climate change strategy, and agriculture is one of the key critical sectors of interest. However, there are concerns about whether policy goals may be achieved amidst the actors’ many and diverging interests. This paper sets out to map how these debates are starting to take place in practice, and poses the following questions: what are the arguments, who is promoting them, and what are the implications for Kenya’s agricultural sector? A better understanding of the key actors, their interests and through what narratives actor-interests are mobilised is important because they will all have implications for the kinds of support farmers at the local level do or do not receive, and the extent to which their own interests are fore grounded or marginalised within the policy process. Ultimately, the policy response to climate change in the agricultural sector is one important factor which mediates local-level vulnerability. The paper examines key policy narratives and documents on climate change and agriculture, how (groups of) key actors cluster in relation to the narratives, and how they are manifesting themselves in practice. In the area of climate change, Kenya has a comparably strong government interest and activity. Politically, the debate has centred on the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) which is implemented through the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP). The NCCAP has been finalised and was launched in March 2013 (GoK, 2013). The emerging dominant narratives in Kenya are focused on the need to protect food security and agricultural resources from the negative impacts of climate change, and on the other, the possible opportunities for capitalising on carbon funding, often with an all-too familiar emphasis on the ‘technical fix’. A number of activities are taking place with donor support. In addition, a large number of NGOs and an increasing number of private actors are becoming key players. However, it should be acknowledged that the agricultural sector has only recently started to grapple with the implications of climate change. As a consequence, the key policy narratives, actors and interests which will shape the policy response to climate change are still coalescing, and the picture remains somewhat unclear. Moreover, the uncertainty over the timing and extent of international funding to assist the agricultural sector to build resilience to climate impacts both slows the process and raises a series of questions about demonstrating added value. The paper argues that, so far, the lack of policy coherence creates a risk of undermining long term policy goals on climate change and agriculture. To develop greater coherence, the paper posits that there is a need for more joined up policies across government beyond strategies laid out in NCCRS. The new NCCAP (GoK, 2013) provides some directions. Some of the proposed actions in the crops sector include promotion and bulking of drought tolerant traditional high value crops, conservation agriculture and integrated soil fertility management. The priority actions for livestock and pastoralism are fodder banks, price stabilisation mechanisms, livestock diversification, and capacity building. Given that there are already signs that the ways in which food security and carbon funding objectives are pursued seem already to favour some interest groups (i.e. intensive farming over pastoralism and dryland farming), there is a need to ensure there is space for a diversity of perspectives to be heard.

  • 3 Agriculture in Kenya: Large- Versus Small-Scale Farming
    3 Agriculture in Kenya: Large- versus Small-Scale Farming Large-scale farming and structural change Before we embark on a chronological account of the changes and developments in Kenya's agriculture it would be helpful to look at the structural changes brought about by the setting up of large­ scale agricultural estates by European settlers. The history of development or lack of development in the rural areas of Kenya has been largely determined by the imposition of this type of farm­ ing on the country. Did the kind of agriculture brought by the settlers lead to development? The following sections will show that after forty difficult years it brought about prosperity within the European-settled areas, but that it was directly responsible for (a) holding back agricultural development in other areas, (b) the poli­ tical explosion in the 1950s, (c) creating the 'peasant capitalist' from the late 1950s and finally (d) the gross underdevelopment in the areas of the nomadic pastoralists. First let us examine the reasons why this large-scale farming was able to succeed. Up to the mid-1950s the settlers' success was un­ doubtedly at the expense of the African farmers. A large proportion of the land and labour force, capital, administration, communi­ cations and marketing were directed by the colonial authorities with a favourable bias towards the settler section of production. The mechanics of this channeling of resources will be discussed in other chapters. Initially and up to the mid-1950s the settler and peasant pro­ ducers were in competition for the above resources. It was essen­ tially a competition between a few large estates and very many small peasant plots to see which could produce the most cheaply.

Rainfall data was obtained from 26 stations in Kenya, out of total 34 synoptic stations which were analyzed at monthly, seasonal and annual scales. Monthly Climate Research Unit (CRU) and Global Precipitation Climate Centre (GPCC) data sets were used. Results showed that CRU data performs better than GPCC when subjected to evaluation and comparison with station data. The findings showed that the highest and lowest annual rainfall was recorded in 1997 (1309.1.2mm) and 2000 (609.4mm) respectively. Maximum mean annual rainfall (2087.0mm) was observed on Kisii station, while the least mean annual rainfall (203mm) was reported at Lodwar station. The highest recorded total rainfall within the analysis domain occurred at Kisii location (3673.6mm), while the least was recorded at Lodwar location (54.2mm). Further results reveal that among the seasons, a noticeable decrease in March, April and May (MAM: 95.5.0mm) and slight increase in October to December (OND: 65.3mm).

In the Tana River Basin in Kenya, six Regional Circulation Models (RCMs) simulating two Repre- sentative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) (i.e., 4.5 and 8.5) were used as input to the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to determine the possible implications for the hydrology and water resources of the basin. Four hydrological characteristics – water yield, groundwater recharge, base flow and flow regulation – were determined and mapped throughout the basin for three 30-year time periods: 2020–2049, 2040–2069 and 2070– 2099. Results were compared with a baseline period, 1983–2011. All four hydrological characteristics show steady increases under both RCPs for the entire basin but with considerable spatial heterogeneity and greater increases under RCP 8.5 than RCP 4.5.

Abegunde 1, Melusi Sibanda 1,* and Ajuruchukwu Obi 2 1 Department of Agriculture, University of Zululand, KwaDlangezwa 3886, South Africa; [email protected] 2 Department of Agricultural Economics & Extension, University of Fort Hare, Alice 5700, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-(0)-35-902-6068 Received: 27 September 2019; Accepted: 9 November 2019; Published: 13 November 2019 Abstract: Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) as a credible alternative to tackle food insecurity under the changing climate is gaining wide acceptance. However, many developing countries have realized that concepts that have been recommended as solutions to existing problems are not suitable in their contexts. This paper synthesizes a subset of literature on CSA in the context of small-scale agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa as it relates to the need for CSA, factors influencing CSA adoption, and the challenges involved in understanding and scaling up CSA. Findings from the literature reveal that age, farm size, the nature of farming, and access to extension services influence CSA adoption. Many investments in climate adaptation projects have found little success because of the sole focus on the technology-oriented approach whereby innovations are transferred to farmers whose understanding of the local farming circumstances are limited. Climate-smart agriculture faces the additional challenge of a questionable conceptual understanding among policymakers as well as financing bottlenecks. This paper argues that the prospects of CSA in small-scale agriculture rest on a thorough socio-economic analysis that recognizes the heterogeneity of the small farmer environment and the identification and harnessing of the capacities of farming households for its adoption and implementation.
