Researchers have identified maize parental lines and hybrids with high levels of drought tolerance among the early as well as the extra-early maturing maize genotypes developed and conserved by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan.

This successful identification has led to the availability and the possibility of sustainable development of more resilient maize varieties with dual characteristics of escaping and tolerating drought in the near future.

Livelihood- and climate- focused agricultural practices help farmers to sustainably increase their farm productivity and build resilience to climate change, while contributing to mitigation. But how does this type of farming— commonly known as climate-smart agriculture or CSA—interact with gender in real-life communities?

The Japanese Embassy in Nigeria has agreed to join efforts with IITA and the Afe Babalola University Ado Ekiti (ABUAD) to help farmers.

To demonstrate their commitment, the three institutions signed a memorandum of understanding to improve cassava production and processing for Agbekoya farmers in Ekiti state.
