ABSTRACT
Natural resource degradation and water scarcity are a global concern that threatens
sustainability of smallholder farmers‟ livelihoods in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). In
ASALs, low adoption of Integrated Soil Fertility and Water Management (ISFWM)
technologies has contributed to food and nutrition insecurity. A study was carried out to
assess factors influencing smallholder farmers‟ adoption decision of ISFWM
technologies in Mwala and Yatta Sub-Counties. A questionnaire was administered to 248
household heads in the study region. Relationships between different variables were
determined by the Tobit model and logistic regression models. Results revealed that age,
gender, group membership, access to agricultural extension services and inaccessible
credit influenced ISFWM adoption significantly (p
