It also produces high-quality cattle feed and prevents soil erosion. It was then that the young woman mustered all her courage and signed up for the course. She had seen the advantages of this biological pest control method with her own eyes at an acquaintance\u2019s house and sensed her chance.<\/p><p class=\"bodytext\">After the workshop, however, came the next hurdle: implementing what they had learned. Beryl Munika did not have her own land and first had to ask her parents for some. They were concerned that she would overexert herself and that ultimately they would both have to do a lot of the work. But their daughter did not give up. After tough discussions, she finally received a small field. \u201cMy father gave me the worst piece of land,\u201d says the young farmer. But she dug in and worked on the field every day. An\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icipe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">icipe<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>project assistant visited and advised her regularly. Her tireless hard work was rewarded.<\/p><p class=\"bodytext\">\u201cMy father used to harvest only two to three kilos of maize from this field because of frequent pest infestation,\u201d she says. \u201cFor me, the first planting season already yielded a whole 40-kilo bag.\u201d The hardworking farmer has been able to further increase yields since then and now produces about three and a half sacks per season \u2013 about 140 kg.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column

Late last year, the local government also recognized her talent and outstanding strength and selected her as an Ambassador for Youth, and thus a role model. She nevertheless remains modest and looks back with gratitude: \u201cThe key to my success is Push-Pull. The people involved in the project were always considerate of me and adapted to my slower pace. This allowed me to find confidence and develop my potential.
