CGIAR Climate's insight:
The scientists from the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) centers under the Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) said the project key aim is to get first hand information on how much GHG is released through agriculture in smallholding farms and inform government and agricultural organizations to develop policy on management of the problem. “We are looking at the landscape changes in the last three decades by collecting climate information data and building local capacity for researchers in East Africa through the collaboration with Maseno University,” CGIAR Projects Lead Researcher Professor Klaus Butterbach told Xinhua at a recent field visit in Western Kenya.
