Climate variability and change is projected to increasingly affect smallholder farming systems in southern Africa and the maize value chain will particularly suffer from the late onset of and more erratic rainfalls. Heat stress will further affect maize-based cropping systems as temperature is projected to increase by 2.1-2.7°C
