“…Cherry-picking a single future prediction and basing future planting decisions on this may lead to unintended negative outcomes due to uncertainty in the climatic projections and simplicity in the crop modelling. The importance of assessing a variety of crop types and planting dates, as well as the challenge of addressing the sensitivity of the soil and crop calibration in the models is highlighted by the high degree of variation found in the results of this and other studies (Saka et al (2012), Challinor et al (2014, Zinyengere et al (2014), Gachene et al (2015), Fiwa (2015), Msowoya et al (2016), Stevens and Madani (2016) and Olson et al (2017)). Previous studies indicate that maize yields may decrease by as much as 14% or increase by up to 25% under a changing climate, with the main differences between the studies being the cultivar calibration, climate scenario and planting date.…”

“…Based on climate change projections for Sub-Saharan Africa, various studies have indicated vulnerability for maize's future crop productivity in the region, with maize yields expected to decrease in the 21st century (Gachene et al, 2015, Challinor et al, 2014. For Malawi more specifically, some previous research has gone into quantifying the impact that climate change will have on domestic maize yields (Saka et al, 2012, Zinyengere et al, 2014, Fiwa, 2015, Msowoya et al, 2016, Stevens and Madani, 2016, Olson et al, 2017.…”

“…This could be explained by groundnuts being legumes with a short growth period and whose harvested parts grow below ground and thus are partly protected by the soil from direct effects of warming. Groundnut viability is closely related to rainfall patterns [83, 84], particularly the amount of rainfall in the growing season due to the less extensive root system, and thus projected increases in rainfall can directly increase suitability for groundnut production. This is especially so as the assessment of changes in agronomic variables show increased rainfall variability than changes in total values.…”

“…it refers to the quantity, quality, and diversity of available food in type. This means a sufficient amount of food that has an appropriate quality with important nutrition content that is supplied through domestic production or import(food aid) [5]. It can be determined by domestic production, storage, distribution, import, and export [18,15].…”

“…Besides food availability and access to food, food utilization is determined by other factors such as food preparation, nutrition content, access to clean drinking water, health care, women, and child care, and women's role [26]. It relates to hygiene, sanitation, proper food processing, and sufficient knowledge about nutrition [5].…”
