Possible Interventions_ Kenya
1. Climbing beans: Has many potential nichesNeeds limited spaceRequire good precipitation IncomeFoodSensitization on utilization and disease managementPerceived challenge: Stakes Can be combined with Gliricidia to provide stakes
Nyaribari Chache
13
2. Calliandra for boosting milk and poultry production3. Gliricidia can be used to fatten goats and cows and soil fertility
Kitutu Chache Similar interventions to Nyaribari Chache Climbing beans, Calliandra and gliricidia Surplus milk sold to be KCC Sotik Sesbania can also provide stakes/perceived
competition with banana for stakes Management of stakes necessary to contain
pests/wood preservatives
14
Rongo
Commercial intensification is necessary: Crop/fodder system
Calliandra for improved milk production, seed production, fuel
Calliandra to be grown as hedgerows along food crops, contours to prevent erosion and for fencing
Residue and nutrient management in groundnuts: next season
PhD student to prioritize soil sampling to inform on SR15 season
Understand current cropping systems in Rongo especially for groundnuts this season and think about management
Interactions with farmers/markets and institutions/MSc student to inquire about soya beans, green grams and others
15
Suna West
Diversification of incomeImprove soil fertilityInquire about Soya processing plant for the
possibility of growing soya beansFor improving soil fertility and erosion control:
Gliricidia, Leucaena trichandra (firewood)Cropping system: Rotations with cash crops,
improved fallows –with Tephrosia and Sesbania sesban

Comments
Include a methodology on how the intervention was arrived at
Options should be reduced/fewDetails on trial plots/narrow down the broad concepts
to specific activitiesDraft activity plan for each countryFGD applying FGD tool; next week. The prototype tool will
have more options_-laterGenerose: we can then go and narrow down on
interventions after the FGD-not necessarily narrow down but focus and show how things are connected
We are relying on the IITA for the protocol to kick start activities

Action Plan_Kenya
Decide on specific activities- 4/2/2015Budget for inputs/buy/assemble inputs-11/2/2015Implement trials- mid Feb/early MarchFGD 2: Mid MarchFinalization of baseline and farm characterization
surveys: End MarchAnalyze yield data for SR14: End march Soil sampling by PhD studentContribute/review on proposals for MSc and PhD
