Smallholder farms in Kenya face challenges in adopting sustainable agricultural practices, necessitating a methodological evaluation to enhance adoption rates. A comprehensive search of academic databases was conducted to identify relevant studies. Studies were screened and included based on predefined criteria, with data analysed using multilevel regression models for measuring adoption rates across different scales (individual farmers, farms, and communities). The analysis revealed a significant effect of farmer education level (eta = -0. 56, p < 0. 01) on adoption rates, indicating that higher levels of education correlate with increased adoption of sustainable practices. Multilevel regression models provide valuable insights into the factors influencing smallholder farmers' decisions to adopt sustainable farming methods in Kenya. Investment should be directed towards educational programmes targeting farmers at various scales, aiming to increase their knowledge and thereby enhance adoption rates of sustainable practices.
