Descripción
This case study estimates the GHG impacts from the implementation of an agricultural development project supported by USAID in Kenya. This case study identifies the magnitude of a larger set of GHG impacts and compares GHG impact strength of different field activities and cropping systems. As such, the assessment results are instrumental for informing investment and policy planners in Kenya when designing low emissions development strategies in agriculture. The Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands – Accelerated Growth project was estimated to achieve a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, driven mainly by herd size management (–185,952 tCO2e/yr).
