Abstract
The manual provides instructions for fodder production and grasslands conservation strategies for community groups to help cushion households from feed/fodder shortages during the dry seasons. The manual is illustrated with photos along with training topics, guidelines and technical knowledge for community pasture producers. The training is planned for five-day learning interactions between trainees and trainers. Drought intensity coupled with climate change have adversely affected livelihoods of pastoral and non-pastoral communities in the Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) areas of Kenya. This drastically affects forage supply for livestock. Knowledge of fodder types and species adaptation is a necessity.
