Overview

Randomized trial assesses climate suitability for rainfed crops in Africa, indicating targeted adaptation needed.

Key Points

  • Assess how climate change affects the suitability of rainfed maize, millet, and sorghum in Africa.
  • Utilized MaxENT ecological niche modelling for crop occurrence, elevation, soil, and climate predictors.
  • Projected suitability under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios.
  • Maize suitable areas may increase by 11.1–22.0%.
  • Millet and sorghum suitable areas may decline by 1.6–7.3%.
  • Indicates growing food-security risks for regions reliant on drought-tolerant crops.
