During the discussion, the main focus was on agroecological indicators specific to Kenya for transitioning to agroecology. Different agroecological practices that smallholder farmers in Kenya adopt were highlighted, as well as how these practices can measure success and productivity in food systems. Additionally, the discussion continued into how IAA practices can enhance food and nutrition security among smallholder farmers, as well as the challenges and opportunities in the Kenyan agricultural sector.

The workshop participants delved into the concept of Sustainable Intensification and its principles, which involve the three co-pathways – ecological intensification, socio-economic intensification, and genetic intensification. They explored the potential impact of these principles and agroecological practices on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Kenya and the East African region.

Furthermore, Prof. Harun Ogindo, Associate Professor, gave his presentation on the agroecological Indicator Framework, and Michael Opiyo, ICT-eLearning Specialist, gave a presentation on the Decision Support Tool Application.
