Filling in the blanks for carbon and water cycling in East African drylands Dryland ecosystems cover large parts of East Africa, yet we still know surprisingly little about how they exchange carbon and water with the atmosphere over…

East African drylands are a blind spot in global models.

Our latest research fills critical data blanks regarding carbon and water cycling in Kenya. By comparing semi-arid rangelands with croplands, we've uncovered how seasonal dynamics shape ecosystem function.

From #waste to #protein: Today, we visited the #vermicomposting facilities at the University of Nairobi. Janeth Chepkemoi showed us how #earthworms and Black Soldier Fly larvae convert kitchen waste and #pig #manure into animal #feed, contributing to a #CircularEconomy. #CIRNA_project @ilri.org

Before starting any project with farmers, it's critical to meet local decision-makers, inform them of your plans, and address their needs and expectations. Read more about the recent inception workshops for our CIRNA project in Kenya & Uganda in our latest blog post: www.ilri.org/news/cirna-p...

How much carbon can Kenyan grasslands store in their soils? Insights from the CarboGrass Project In Kenya, a team of dedicated researchers is working to assess the impact of grassland management on soil health, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration…

Happy #WorldSoilDay! How much #carbon is stored in Kenya's #rangeland #soils? Find out what we're doing in the #CarboGrass project and the
#LivestockClimateInitiative to find the answer!
