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

CGIAR Climate's insight:
John Obuom, a father of eight from Kowala Village, in the Lower Nyando Basin of Kisumu County, is one farmer whose income has increased since he received training in ways of coping with climate change. 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.
