Implication

Mixed-methods analysis shows low adoption of climate-resilient practices in smallholder farmers, suggesting the need for education and financial support.

Key Points

To analyze the adoption rates of climate-resilient agriculture technologies among smallholder farmers in Southwestern Kenya.
Mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys (n=150) and qualitative interviews (n=20)
Data collection at baseline, six months, and twelve months post-intervention
Focus on smallholder farmers across three counties in Southwestern Kenya
Initial adoption rates were low, with only 20% of surveyed households adopting new practices by the end of the first year.
Perceived risk and lack of financial resources significantly hindered technology uptake.
Targeted interventions, including education and financial support, show potential to increase technology adoption.
