Kenya’s total area is about 587,000 sq km of which 576,076 sq km is land and 11,230 sq km is covered by water. Of the total land area 16% is a high to medium potential. The rest is arid and semi-arid and therefore of low agricultural potential. Out of the ASAL’s 48 million Ha, 24 million Ha is only useful for nomadic pastrolism, the rest can support some commercial ranching and irrigated agriculture but with a lot of physical infrastructure input.

The critical farming characteristic is that 5 million people live and derive their livelihoods in ASAL areas, the rest of the population is in the 16% of the land area. In a country where 80% of the population depend on agriculture, the high and medium potential areas have been reduced to small scale farms of up to 0.5 – 10 ha. Infact, 81% of small-scale farmers occupy holdings of less than 2 ha. With the population growth rate of 3.2%, the pressure on land will continuously reduce the capacity to sustain food production and cash crop farming.
