This policy brief examines how various applications of sustainable consumption and production practices along the dairy production chain in Kenya could increase productivity while promoting economic growth. The study outlines several policy recommendations such as providing extension services at the local level.
Dairy in Kenya is facing several challenges, which are hampering the agricultural sector’s growth and affecting the lives of 40% of the population, according to a recent report by USAID. To address the challenges and fulfil Kenya’s 2030 visions for the sector, integrating sustainable consumption and production practices along the value chain could decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, promote more efficient utilization of resources, and foster sustainable lifestyles. This is in line with Sustainable Development Goal 12 as part of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda.
