Modelling the climate change adaptation potential of notillage maize systems in southern Africa by Rusinamhodzi, L., Berre, D., Thierfelder, C., Ridaura, S.L., Corbeels, M.

“…The objective of the study was to assess the potential of two main principles (no-tillage and crop residue retention) of conservation agriculture (CA) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer management to mitigate the negative effects of future climate (2021–2060) on maize (Zea mays L.) productivity using the Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM). Two tillage practices were considered in the simulations, i.e. the conventional practice of tillage with removal of crop residues (CP) and NT (no-tillage and crop residue mulching), as well as three rates of N input (0, 30, 90 kg ha−1) on mono-cropped continuous maize. …”

What do we know about the future of maize value chains in a changing climate and agrifood system? by Tesfaye Fantaye, Kindie, Sonder, Kai, Pequeno, Diego, Hartley, Faaiqa, Gbegbelegbe, Sika

“…The feed demand for maize is expected to grow faster in the coming few decades, largely driven by rapid economic growth and diet shifts in highly populated regions in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Meeting the growing demand for maize will require dramatic increases in production, marketing, use, and resilience of maize-based farming systems. …”
