  ABSTRACT: Kenya has, since independence, experienced food insecurity and, in mitigation measures, designed a number of policies from 1981 to date. Each of the policies appeared to be building on the preceding experiences to improve the food security situation by instituting designs and structures that promoted the use of incrementalism approach to decision making. By conducting a comparative analysis of three food security policies, namely, the Sessional Paper No. 4 of 1981, the Sessional Paper No. 2 of 1994 and the Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2012, the paper established that the changes adopted by the government in food security every time a new policy was put in place were incrementalism in approach.
