The workshop was organized by the CGIAR Research Initiative on Low-Emission Food Systems (MITIGATE+), which is implemented by a large consortium of partners.

Welcome to MoreMilk, a pioneering project led by the International Research Institute and its partners.

This paper uses trade data from the COMESA statistical database covering 19 countries covering the period 1997 to 2013 to analyze the trade competitiveness of selected agricultural commodities traded among COMESA member states using the revealed c

Food safety is gaining traction in Kenya due to growing public health concerns for domestic and international trade. Past efforts to establish a food safety management system and a coordination mechanism have not borne fruit.

The horticulture sub-sector contributes about 36% of Kenya’s agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) which stands at 24%.

Food borne diseases can be caused by biological, chemical and physical hazards. Most food borne illnesses result from consumption of animal source foods and fruits and vegetables.

Higher incomes in developing countries are associated with dietary shifts away from traditional staples towards highly processed foods and foods with higher nutritive value, such as animal source foods (Popkin 2004; Delgado et al. 2001).

This report serves as documentation for the construction, operation and utility of the Horn of Africa Data Catalog (accessible online at http://data.technicalconsortium.org), which was developed to

In this analysis, we make use of household level data to illustrate some very basic characteristics of pastoral livestock keepers, so that we can represent their behavior and adjustment to environmental shocks.

This study showed how arid and semi-arid areas of Kenya are particularly affected by undernutrition in women and children.

The major significance of this study is thus, to give the already existing dynamic CGE model the ability to better treat the livestock sector by capturing its complete natural picture through coupling of the stock–flow feature of the sector into t

Export-oriented pastoral livestock production is an important source of livelihood of the Somali people.

The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) is a framework that provides for an agriculture-led development strategy.

This study assessed the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) between backyard poultry (S4) farms and between S4 and semi-commercial (S3) farms in Kenya.

The Kenyan poultry industry is characterized by dualism, comprised of both smallholder and large-scale poultry producers.

The outbreak and spread of Asian-lineage highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) from Asia to Europe and Africa in 2003-2007 challenged national disease surveillance and response programs particularly in those countries where infection occurred.

The Ethiopian poultry sector is almost exclusively dominated by backyard and small-scale production using limited to no inputs in production and which is targeted for either self-consumption or the market.

Kenya has a high risk of being infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) because it:
