Research scientist Sarah Ogalleh Ayeri has been documenting methods used by peasant farmers in the semi-arid Laikipia district of Kenya’s Rift Valley province, as they attempt to adapt to changing climatic conditions, reports IPS.

"We must first understand the preferred local adaptation strategies. But most importantly, we must know how farmers perceive climate change, how they link their existent adaptations to the phenomenon, and how these existent adaptations can be improved to be more effective, efficient and sustainable," explained Ayeri.
