A Western Kenya study aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions on small farms while boosting incomes

CGIAR Climate's insight:
His new dairy goats, he said, produce three times as much milk as the old variety, allowing him to keep two litres a day and sell four. His Red Maasai sheep fetch up to 15,000 Kenya shillings ($176) at market, three times as much as the local breed.
His training was part of the work of Climate-Smart Villages, model villages set up across West and East Africa and parts of Asia by the CGIAR Research Programme on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) to test a range of crops, technologies and farming methods and work out which are best suited for a particular community.
