Sustainable management of the natural resources requires critical understanding of the dynamics of land use and land cover change (LULCC). Nguruman sub-catchment in the northern part of Kajiado County has experienced rapid land use and land cover changed over the past decades. However, the extent to which these changes have impacted on the ecosystem and indigenous livelihoods has not been assessed. This remains a critical challenge that must be addressed due to its potential severe impacts on rural human livelihoods especially in arid and semi-arid areas in Kenya.

Effect of intercropping maize and promiscuous Soybean on growth and yield.
An study was carried out in Kenya to assess the suitab
ility of three promiscuous soybean varieties
(SB19, GAZELLE and TGX1990-5F) intercropped with Mai
ze (Duma 43). A randomised complete
block design was used replicated three times with seven
treatments. The arrangement of
intercropping was 1:1. Data collection included germina
tion %, plant height, days to 50% flowering,
days to 75% maturity, yield biomass per plant, 100 g
rain weight, grain yield, harvest index and Land
