Zeyaur R. Khan is a professor and the principal scientist at International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe).[1] 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",[2] 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.
