Synopsis (short abstract) This brief summarises available evidence on the impact of cattle and poultry on the environment in Kenya, building on available research reports and papers. It explores the correlations between livestock and greenhouse gases; livestock and water; livestock and grasslands; and livestock and biodiversity. When data is available, it provides specific evidence of the impact of cattle and poultry production systems on the environment. These were characterized by national stakeholders - including the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Health - as part of the implementation of a One Health approach aimed at assessing the current and long-term impact of livestock on the economy and people’s livelihoods, on public health and on the environment.
