Center for Development Research, Department Ecology and Natural Resources Management (ZEF C), University of Bonn
In our research we assess the sustainability performance of 400 smallholder farms practicing organic (i.e. certified or non-certified) and non-organic agriculture (i.e. conventional or other) using the Sustainability Monitoring and Assessment RouTine (SMART)-Farm Tool and examine differences between these farm categories using multivariate analyses. We also identify general gaps in sustainability performance for all farms. Quality/Lineage: Multivariate data analyses. Purpose: The results are important to provide a basis for informed decision-making in design of future policy measures and other interventions aiming at sustainable smallholder farming which is significant for sustainable development in Kenya and other countries of sub-Saharan Africa.
