Abstract: Agriculture is a key sector of Kenya’s economy, accounting for about 51% of the country’s total gross domestic product (GDP) and employing 80% of the rural population (ASTGS, 2019). However, the agriculture sector is vulnerable to climate variability and long-term climatic changes, which are already affecting Kenya’s food security. These changes frequently cause loss of livestock, crops, income, and livelihoods, which disproportionately affects smallholder farmers.
