security and build climate resilience?
Olivia Taghioff
2. Evidence of impact
1. The yields of Kenya Agricultural Carbon
Project farmers have increased by 15-30%.
2. The adoption rate of Sustainable Agricultural
Land Management (SALM) is high, 1000
farmer groups and about 20,000 farmers since
2009
3. SALM practices are effective in terms of
mitigation, as evidenced by the VCS approval
3. Going to scale
1. Combining multiple finance streams, public
and private, to achieve food
security, adaptation and mitigation objectives
2. Effective national extension services
3. Better organisation of farmers, from village
cooperatives to the national level
