	'''Zeyaur R. Khan''' is a professor and the principal scientist at [[International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology]] (icipe).<ref>[http://www.icipe.org ]</ref> He has dedicated his 30-year career as an international agricultural scientist to advancing the science and practice of agriculture by studying and applying chemical ecology, behavior, plant-plant and insect-plant interactions to improve farm productivity to combat poverty and food insecurity in Africa. He is responsible for the discovery and wide scale implementation of a pro-poor scientific innovation for enhancing [[food security]] and environmental sustainability in Africa. This was achieved through the biologically-based IPM technology called "Push-Pull",<ref>[http://www.push-pull.net]</ref> developed for small-holder cereal-livestock African farmers. Prof. ~~Khan’s~~ work is an example demonstrating that creativity and innovation in science can provide practical solutions for the real problems of thousands of small-holder poor farmers and promote their food security and sustainable livelihoods.
