Adopting yield-improving practices to meet maize demand in Sub-Saharan Africa without cropland expansion

F. Aramburu-merlos, F. A. M. Tenorio, et al.

In the face of a projected 2.3-fold increase in maize demand in Sub-Saharan Africa over the next 30 years, this groundbreaking research conducted by Fernando Aramburu-Merlos, Fatima A. M. Tenorio, Nester Mashingaidze, Alex Sananka, Stephen Aston, Jonathan J. Ojeda, and Patricio Grassini reveals that optimized cultivation practices could potentially double yields, adding an impressive 82 million tons of maize without expanding current farmland.
