Climate-smart push-pull: resilient, adaptable conservation agriculture for the future
Push –pull is a conservation agriculture technology developed for smallholder’s mixed farming systems. The livelihoods of 80% of the population of sub- Saharan Africa (SSA) depend on these systems. Push-pull farmers establish perennial standards of two fodder crops, one between the rows of their main cereal crop and the other around the field. The natural chemicals produced by these companion plants effectively control stem borers (insect pests) and parasitic weeds in the genus Striga.
