Abstract:

To meet the rising demand for animal-based protein, conventional livestock may prove expensive as the current production system remains unsustainable. This calls for intervention research on alternative sources of protein, hence a switch to affordable and environmentally acceptable protein sources of which approximately 1,900 insect species are consumed worldwide. Alate termites have thus received considerations in this line for nutritional and economic benefits. Trading of alate termites is becoming a valuable source of income for many people in Vihiga county and other parts of western region

The adoption of agroforestry technologies remains an important strategy to reduce poverty and hunger among resource-constrained rural farmers. However, the potential contribution of agroforestry technologies to the economy and sustainable development goals in Vihiga County, Kenya, is yet to be fully exploited. This study determined the impacts of agroforestry technologies on livelihoods and the socio-economic factors influencing the adoption of agroforestry technologies.

Abstract:

The dynamics of households significantly influence the management of ruminant livestock within the Kakamega forest ecosystem, particularly in response to the challenges posed by climate change. This, in turn, has both direct and indirect effects on the Kakamega forest ecosystem. This study sought to determine the influence of the household dynamics on ruminant livestock production systems and the Kakamega forest ecosystem, Kenya. The study was grounded in the Ecological Systems Theory. The study employed a correlational research methodology. The study used a structured questionnaire to obtain

Abstract:

Not much is known about the extent to which bodaboda riders in Kenya contribute to the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) through out-of-pocket payments. Bodabodas address mobility needs, create employment opportunities for youth and supplement household income within the informal sector. Access to healthcare services is influenced by various factors including demographics, socio-economic status, and overall health. Disparities in healthcare financing across different socio-economic groups in Kenya have been an ongoing topic of discussion. This study aimed to investigate whether socio-eco

Vitamin A and iron are essential micronutrients during lactation and deficiencies could have adverse health consequences for teenage mothers. The prevalence of teenage pregnancy in the county stands at 11.1%, marginally lower than the prevalence in Kenya which stands at 15%. Teenage mothers are a particularly vulnerable group to nutrient deficiencies due to intense energy utilization and increased nutrient requirements. In Kenya, 21.3% of non-pregnant women, experience iron-deficiency while about 1.1% experience vitamin A deficiency. Kenya lacks adolescent-specific data in its National Health

Abstract:

A child’s health and survival are highly dependent on optimal maternal infant and young child nutrition practices. In Kenya, under-nutrition is a leading cause of death of children. For infants and children under the age of two, the consequences of under-nutrition are particularly severe, often irreversible, and far reaching in future. Rickets is a disease associated with bone deformity that is caused by inadequate mineralization in growing bones, mainly associated with deficiency in either vitamin D, calcium or both. If untreated it could lead to lifelong disability. Despite, the declines in
