Integrated natural resource management for dryland areas - a case of Laikipia East county of Kenya

Conservation agriculture (CA) and integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) are approaches believed to improve soil health and crop yields.

This proposal is thus designed to investigate such questions using field trials.
