Abstract

In partnership with the Kenyan Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), this study evaluates the impacts of 2 extension approaches that increase the adoption of locally important agricultural technologies.

The study seeks to investigate the market for local agricultural information in Western Kenya, the effectiveness of institutional arrangements that could support the creation of local knowledge, and the impact of obtaining this information on farmer’s knowledge and agricultural practices.

This study is an output of the Agricultural Innovation Thematic Window programme.
