A young cocoa pod hanging from a horizontal branch. A multi-coloured bug nymph is walking on it, facing down. The pod is green, and has a squiggly brown line of some sort of miner/borer pest across its surface. Next to the pod is a single cocoa flower, creamy white and about 1cm across.

Flash droughts intensified by rising temperatures pose a significant threat to global food security. To address this, we need resilient farming methods, climate-smart agriculture, early warning systems, and improved water security infrastructure.

Ensuring nutrition is at the heart of climate smart agriculture

Farmers in sub-Saharan Africa need to diversify away from growing maize and switch to crops that are resilient to climate change and supply key micronutrients for the population, say researchers.
