      abstract = {This paper uses a random sample of 881 farmers drawn from  eastern and western Kenya to examine the prevalence and  drivers of seed and pollen mediated geneflow in the two  major sorghum growing regions. It employs both qualitative  and quantitative techniques to assess farmers’ awareness of  wild sorghum varieties, the practices they use in  maintaining varietal purity and the conditioners of their  success in maintaining the purity of cultivated varieties.  The study finds that, among others, cultural differences,  agro-climate and poverty affect the awareness, practices  used in maintaining varietal purity and farmers’ success in  doing so. These findings have implication for biosafety and  policy in Kenya due to the clamour to introduce genetically  modified bio-fortified sorghum varieties in Africa.},
