Climate-Smart Agriculture is central to the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). With climate change threatening food security through droughts, floods, and erratic rainfall, CSA ensures Kenya’s agriculture remains productive, resilient, and sustainable. The 2025 Budget Policy Statement highlights CSA as a priority intervention to secure livelihoods, protect natural resources, and modernize farming systems.
Promotion of drought-tolerant and early-maturing crop varieties.
Increased access to affordable inputs through subsidised fertiliser and seeds.
Expansion of irrigation infrastructure to reduce reliance on rain-fed agriculture.
Construction of dams, pans, and boreholes to support irrigation and livestock.
Rainwater harvesting initiatives for households and institutions.
Adoption of sustainable land management practices such as soil conservation and rehabilitation.
National vaccination and disease control campaigns for livestock.
Support for breed improvement in dairy and beef production.
Investment in fodder and pasture development in arid and semi-arid counties.
Expansion of agroforestry programmes to increase tree cover.
Promotion of clean energy solutions such as biogas and solar irrigation.
Integration of agriculture into climate finance and green growth strategies.
Training and deployment of agricultural extension officers and agripreneurs.
Strengthening farmer cooperatives for access to finance, insurance, and markets.
Special programmes targeting youth and women to build inclusive, climate-resilient value chains.
By embedding Climate-Smart Agriculture in national development, Kenya seeks to ensure that farming households are not just surviving climate shocks but thriving despite them. CSA is about higher yields, stronger resilience, and greener growth — securing food security and economic transformation for present and future generations.
Fulfilling the Kenya Kwanza agenda, ensuring progress and prosperity for all Kenyans.
