Global food security faces increasing threats from climate change, leading to diseases, pests, drought, water salinity, and rising temperatures.
Agricultural production system
February 9, 2024
Push-pull technology provides farmers in East Africa with an eco-friendly strategy that increases crop yield and household income in smallholder cereal systems by controlling pests and improving soil health. Though promising for a sustainably intensified production, push-pull has been used at a limited scale, primarily in maize and sorghum-based production systems.

The e-Granary platform was customized with add-on features that support registration of new farmers and bulk messaging to registered farmers, including a user-friendly farmers’ feedback interface. An overview of the platform, customization and integration with the UPSCALE Knowledge Exchange Hub (KEH) as well as the dissemination plans and campaigns/messaging schedules are outlined in the report.
Climate change • Pest/disease control
January 27, 2023
Ili kuboresha ustahimilivu wa teknolojia ya climate-smart push-pull (CSPPT) dhidi ya mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa, majaribio yalihusisha mimea yaliochukuliwa kwa uwezo na faida zao; Brachiaria cv. Xaraes na Desmodium uncinatum zilifaa katika kudhibiti wadudu waharibifu wa mahindi na pia magugu ya striga, katika utafiti wa kulinganisha wa maeneo mengi magharibi mwa Kenya.
Climate change • Pest/disease control
January 27, 2023
To improve the resilience of the climate-smart push-pull technology (CSPPT) against climate change, we tested more adapted companion plants; Brachiaria cv. Xaraes and Desmodium uncinatum for their suitability in controlling maize pests and striga weed in a multisite comparison study in western Kenya.
Agricultural production system • Soil management
January 27, 2023
Soil degradation is a major underlying cause of poverty and malnutrition in smallholder agrarian communities across the globe. Legume diversification, through polyculture or intercropping, is a strategy that increases yields and income while improving family nutrition.

Farming practice • Push-Pull in practice
August 9, 2023
UPSCALE partners regularly organize training and demonstration days – Roadshow events – with the aim to train the farmers and provide more information on the benefits and implementation of the Push-Pull technology. These take place on already established climate-smart push-pull… Continue Reading…
