Kenya has operationalized a National Agroecology Strategy for Food Systems Transformation (2024-2033), positioning agroecology as a sustainable pathway for food systems transformation by ensuring food security and nutrition, climate resilient livelihoods and social inclusion for all. However, at the county level where actual implementation occurs, policy development remains fragmented.
This study, commissioned by Biovision Africa Trust and funded by Porticus, assessed 16 counties for their agroecological transition (CAET) and policy readiness for policy development & implementation. Data collection involved a digital household survey questionnaire (based on FAO’s TAPE tool), focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. The study applied indices from the TAPE too to evaluate the status of agroecological practice adoption.
