Land Use and Land Cover changes on Soil Organic Carbon and Total Nitrogen Stocks in the Olesharo Catchment, Narok County

Land Use and Land Cover Change (LULCC) is the most prominent cause of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) variability in any landscape. Kenyan Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) have been facing extensive land use/ cover changes in the last three decades prompting a review on the impacts it has on soil quality and consequently on land degradation. This study was carried out in 2016 in Olesharo Catchment, Narok County, one of the prominent ASALs of Kenya.

Courtesy Call to the Dean’s Office by the ‘Kuku Safe’ Project Team

The 'Kuku Safe' project team, operating under the Food Safety Lab led by Prof. Catherine Kunyanga, recently paid a courtesy call to the Dean’s Office at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nairobi.

The team is currently conducting research activities at Burma Market, where they are collecting poultry and environmental samples. These samples will be analyzed for antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens as part of a broader food safety initiative.
