ABSTRACT

Purpose

Rural people seek diverse opportunities to increase and stabilize their welfare. Understanding the factors influencing livelihood strategies can help improve policies that promote rural households’ well-being. This study identifies livelihood strategies adopted by rural households and the factors influencing their choices in the Mt. Elgon region of Western Kenya.

Design/methodology/approach

This study examines the role of farm forestry Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) in strengthening climate resilience in mixed crop–livestock systems in dryland Kenya. Based on interviews and focus group discussions in Embu and Taita Taveta, this study finds that FFS participation enhanced tree cultivation, market monitoring, and group-based learning, with greater involvement of women in decision-making.
