Differences in resource utilization in rural Kenya: a case study of a heterogeneous Settlement scheme, with particular reference to dairy farming innovation in the Nzoia Scheme, Kakamega, Kenya
Abstract
This study examines the individual socio-economic and other governmental
extension factors which make for differences in the
levels of sustaining innovation in the Nzoia Scheme. This was a
case study of a rural planned settlement scheme. in analysing the
nature of resource utilization by the farmers here. we laid much
emphasis on the dairy farming enterprise innovation. This was
because it was considered to be a more relatively steady income
generating activity for an average farmer, compared to arable
fanning activities. In this case we found that maize production
in arable farming was the only other most important activity all
the farmers in the scheme engaged in full-time each year.
