This paper is focused on intervention scenarios for smallholder potato value chains in Kenya that improve yields, reduce losses, minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increase economic performance and food security. For that, business models and GHG emission estimates are developed, based on the existing data, combined with relevancy and time-to-impact analysis using practical real-life information from stakeholders in the potato sector, which is the second largest agricultural crop in Kenya after maize. The results show that profitability, environmental improvement and food security can go hand in hand with realistic short-term interventions for potato production at smallholder farms.

肯尼亚马铃薯小农减少粮食损失的干预策略——减少温室气体排放的积极商业案例

本文重点介绍肯尼亚小农马铃薯价值链的干预方案，这些方案可提高产量、减少损失、最大限度地减少温室气体 (GHG) 排放并提高经济绩效和粮食安全。为此，基于现有数据，结合相关性和影响时间分析，使用来自马铃薯行业利益相关者的实际现实信息开发商业模型和温室气体排放估算，马铃薯行业是肯尼亚第二大农作物玉米之后。结果表明，盈利能力、环境改善和粮食安全可以与小农农场马铃薯生产的现实短期干预措施齐头并进。
