 So basically what CIFOR is doing here is something really important. There was a work that began with looking at how the forest is changing. The Centre for International Forestry Research, CIFOR's Director-General Dr Robert Nassie, visited parts of western Kenya where CIFOR scientists are conducting projects in Itare in Bombay County. The main purpose of this visit was to learn how local communities can serve forests and water resources. These communities are organised into community forest associations and water resource user associations. The CIFOR and Green Belt movement had recently engaged WRUA and CFA in a training session as part of CIFOR's Water Towers Project. The project aims to encourage joint forest and water resource governance. CIFOR's research shows that the health of forests directly affects the quality and quantity of water in rivers and streams. Therefore there is need for more collaboration between these groups to ensure that there is better conservation and rehabilitation of Kenya's forests. So we realised that we need to work together and one of the initiatives we have started is putting up in the community. The team first visited the indigenous tree nursery which holds up to 5,000 seedlings for planting in degraded forest areas as well as river banks. I want to thank the CIFOR who came to the ground to do capacity building in collaboration with the Green Belt movement. They have taken us to three to four workshops which empowered us and we realised that what is done in community forest association is very similarly of what is done in the water resources association. After visiting the nursery, the team went back to a community centre where members of both WRUA and CFA shared their stories and challenges with the team. Many of our community members described the lessons learned from the gender and community participation training in resource management which included practical actions they undertook. Another thing I learnt in my lessons when we were at Elondian is how to conserve energy, how to save energy by using improved kikikos so that we cannot damage our forest so that we cannot finish our forest as we are going to fetch firewood. Here we have one son, he is a friar, he is a farmer, he is an environmentalist, he is a farmer, he is a farmer, he is an environmentalist, he is a farmer, he is a farmer. When I graduated from the school 37 years ago now I did not graduate as a forest engineer, I graduated as a water and forest engineer. So water and forest entries are very much linked. You cannot be interested in forest or you cannot be interested in water. What I see is that people are really willing to do that and maybe you are artificially divided because there is a water management administration or there is a forest management administration deciding ok we want to work together and we want the Kenya Forest Service and we want the water management to help us because we want to manage our forest and our water together. I am sure people will listen to you so thanks a lot and Santessana. In Sondu the team visited the Citizen Science Project. The idea is to involve local communities in daily measurement of water levels, turning smallholder farmers into citizen scientists. They teach people to read gauges installed at key locations and then to send the value to a main database via SMS. The project is piloted in 14 sites in the River Sondu catchment with a view of scaling it up to regional and national levels in the future. We introduced the water quality component where also we engaged the citizen scientists on the water resources and solutions to do the water quality monitoring. And I have also been active since the inception in 2016 before the introduction of measuring the nitrate content and also the tapiti level I have been sending on a daily basis the water level. We have also developed these tools to talk to our communities now so that we should not use water directly at the river and we also advise them on these issues. On the last day of the field trip the team visited a farmer in Bombay County who is part of the smallholder dairy commercialization program, the SDCP. It is funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development. The program aims to improve livelihoods by increasing local farmers incomes by supporting capacity building to increase dairy production and facilitate access to markets. Mr Benad Keme, a model farmer, showed the team the innovations he has developed to move from his conventional livestock practices into zero grazing approaches. With assistance from SDCP, on a three acre piece of land, Benad has been able to improve his milk production. Whereby we focus on more production of milk and trade in the milk. So he's managed to kind of save on a lot of costs of production. He also produces biogas that he uses to cook and run his chuff cutter. Oh, that's gas, you can hear, that's gas, yeah, that's gas. So you use some petrol to start the engine, eh? When it comes now to greening we've been able to use the manure very effectively for biogas production and the slurry is used to increase, fertilizing the crops. Another aspect is breeding, I adopt the breeding because breeding is a very important component in dairy. So from what he had this local animal, he's been managed to use AI, which is also promoted by the program. Challenges of being a dairy farmer in this area are water and feed, that's why lots of cattle graze in the forest or they have their permanent cows in the forest. And so with this zero grazing structure, Benad is self-sufficient in his feed for his cattle, in his water. G4's Greening Livestock Project can learn from the SDCP. The Environment, Social and Economic Incentives of the Greening Livestock Project aims to reduce emissions from livestock, to increase cows' productivity and increase people's incomes from sales of dairy products. This is achieved by adopting low-emissions agricultural practices.
