Trying to Help Farmers Adapt to Climate Change in Kenya. By Isaiah Esipisu, IPS, 9/29/10. "In the semi-arid Laikipia district of Kenya's Rift Valley province, research scientist Sarah Ogalleh Ayeri travels from one village to another, documenting methods used by peasant farmers as they attempt to adapt to changing climatic conditions… She said that before introducing any climate change adaptation measures to any community of smallholder farmers, some key issues must be considered. 'We must first understand the preferred local adaptation strategies. But most importantly, we must know how farmers perceive climate change, how they link their existent adaptations to the phenomenon, and how these existent adaptations can be improved to be more effective, efficient and sustainable.'"
