Baseline Study to Assist in InstitutionalDevelopment Process
Baseline Study to Assist in InstitutionalDevelopment Processes: Climate Change Impact on Small Scale Tea Farmers in Kenya The purpose of the study was to determine the current perception of climate change and find out how climatic issues were impacting the livelihoods of the smallholder tea producers. Furthermore, the study was aimed at establishing the current capacity for producers to act on these issues. The study methodology was an intra-method triangulation of quantitative and qualitative data collection which led to a similar approach in the analysis. The study findings indicate that population pressure in both sites has led to sub-division of land that in effect hampers production. They also reveal that the farmers are aware of the geographical, environmental and rainfall pattern variations that can be attributed to climate change. Farmers also face numerous challenges in the course of producing tea. These challenges include logistical, financial and social.
