Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the potential of incorporating Prosopis juliflora seed pods into typical dry land livestock production systems to minimize feed scarcity during the dry seasons and avoiding weight losses and poor performance. The study evaluated supplementation of weaner Galla goats with increasing amounts of Prosopis juliflora seedpods that is widely distributed in arid and semi arid areas of Kenya. This species is drought tolerant and with high productivity of seed pods whole year round.
Development of integrated land information management system in Kenya
Land is a key asset of any country. It is one of the factors of production which includes labour
and capital. It is critical for economic, social and political development of a country. There exists
a correlation between proper utilization of land and the economic advancement of a country and
its proper management can only be achieved if information on the said land is available. The
current globalization trend in the world, demand for efficient and effective land services requires
Different land use types in the semi-arid rangelands of Kenya influence soil properties
Rangelands in semi-arid Kenya have recently witnessed extensive land use changes. These changes
can mainly be attributed to increased livestock populations and the response of the increased human
population to both local and exogenous opportunities and constraints. This study was carried out in
Kibwezi district of Kenya mainly inhabited by agro-pastoralists. The main objective of this study was to
establish how different land use types influence soil properties in tropical semi-arid rangelands.
The Desert Margins Programme Approaches in Upscaling Best-Bet Technologies in Arid and Semi-arid Lands in Kenya
Kenya’s land surface is primarily arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) which account for 84% of the total land area. The Desert Margins Programme (DMP) in Kenya has made some contribution to understanding which technology options have potential in reducing land degradation in marginal areas and conserving biodiversity through demonstrations, testing of the most promising natural resource management options, developing sustainable alternative livelihoods and policy guidelines, and replicating successful models.
Regulation of the procedure for acquiring land as a Tool for monitoring land use to attain sustainable Development: A critique
Land is very central for human survival and development. In fact, it is so elemental to human
survival that it can be said that it is where life begins and it is where life ends. Land is the source
of livelihood and to many a Kenyan it is the source of food, shelter, clothing and even medicine.
Consequently the procedure of acquisition of rights or interest over the same cannot be any less

In that regard the Constitution of Kenya 2010 does recognize such right and provides for the
