The sustainable agroforestry based dairy value chain in Mount Elgon, Kenya is a livelihood improvement project being implemented within the Mount Elgon catchment areas of Bungoma and Tran Nzoia counties.

It also aims to increase yields (by at least 30%) through sustainable agricultural land management (SALM) for increased soil and crop producitivity, and to deliver value across carbon credits involving 30,000 farmers of which 15,000 will be specialized in dairy supply.Social goals: the project targets to improve the knowledge, skills and income of 30,000 participating farmers to reach better life quality; increase their family health and nutritional status of, facilitate establishment of strong farmer organizations for business and social empowerment, and increase participation of women participation in the farmer organizations.
