Evaluation of farm system reliability in Kenya shows significant productivity due to infrastructure investment, suggesting effective policy interventions.
Smallholder farming systems in Kenya are pivotal to national food security and rural livelihoods. The review synthesizes existing methodologies applied to smallholder farm systems, focusing on econometric techniques such as fixed effects models with robust standard errors. Fixed effects models revealed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.72) between farm productivity and investment in infrastructure over five years. Panel data analysis offers a robust framework for assessing system reliability, enhancing policy interventions targeting smallholder farmers. Further research should explore longitudinal impact of climate change on farm systems using similar econometric models.
