Why farms of the future need to mix livestock and crops | Devex
CGIAR Climate's insight:
Climate projections indicate that over the next three decades, in some parts of sub-Saharan Africa, the weather will often be too hot and the growing seasons too short to support existing varieties of important staple crops, such as maize. But how these climatological shifts will affect individual farmers in Africa depends on how they produce food. Most of them depend on livestock-crop interactions, and that can leave them both more vulnerable and more resilient to climate change.
