Climate change threatens Zambian farmers' staple crop yields, food security at risk.
African farmers, especially in Zambia, are facing challenges due to climate change affecting crop yields. A study looked at how changes in temperature and rainfall impact maize, groundnut, sweet potato, and cassava production. Results show that higher temperatures can boost maize yields, but may harm cassava production in the future. Changes in rainfall negatively affect groundnut and sweet potato yields. Farmers need to adapt to these changes to avoid poverty and food insecurity.
