With the funding of European Union, the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe), Rothamsted Research  and partners (Research and Extension partners) seek to enhance food security and increase prosperity for poor smallholder farmers in Africa vulnerable to climate change through ‘Adaptation and Dissemination of the ‘Push-Pull’ Technology (ADOPT): a conservation agriculture approach for smallholder cereal-livestock production in drier areas to withstand climate change’. The push-pull technology is described as, “the single most effective and efficient low-cost technology for removing major constraints faced by the majority of small-holders in Eastern Africa resulting in an overall and significant improvement of their food security and livelihoods”. ADOPT  ensures that the technology is fully adapted for and adopted by the resource-poor smallholder cereal-livestock farmers in the dry and hot areas  vulnerable to climate change. New drought tolerant trap and intercrop plants will be identified and incorporated into the technology to ensure its sustainability under the increasingly adverse conditions associated with climate change.
