Projected impacts of climate change scenarios on the production of maize in southern Africa: an integrated assessment case study of the Bethlehem district, central Free State, South Africa

IN this chapter it is hypothesized that the AgMIP methodology be used to provide better understanding of a range of possible future adaptation and socio-economic strategies that can be followed to lessen the impact of climate change in the region. The aim of the overall project was to evaluate the impacts of climate change on production of staple and nutritionally important crops in the region.
