By allocating 10% more of their arable land to food crop production, research findings showed that households improved their food security by 18%. Supplementing animal feeds with crops and crop residues increased feed supplies by 8%. On average, due to the program successes, 40% of the farmers sought climate information in order to make decisions on food production. To enhance income and food security, county governments should invest in competent extension services, farmer field schools and demonstration centers, and as well, support seed multiplication and distribution of improved, climate-resilient crop varieties.application/pdfenSEMIARID ZONEDROUGHT RESISTANCECLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONWATER MANAGEMENTAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGROPASTORAL SYSTEMSCROP TRIALSCROP DIVERSIFICATIONZAI PIT FARMINGFOOD SECURITYGOVERNMENT ROLEWATER CONSERVATIONPolicy Brief
