Summary, etc. Recurrent and widespread droughts in southern Africa (SA) reduce agricultural productivity and increase food insecurity among smallholder farmers. The average growing-season temperatures are expected to increase by 2.5°C. In SA maize is a staple food, accounting for more than 30% of total calories. The crop is mostly grown by smallholder farmers with limited inputs of fertilizers and improved seed. Most of the maize cultivars grown by farmers are susceptible to heat and drought. Multi-stress-tolerant maize germplasm is one of the climate smart agriculture (CSA) components and, when used in combination with others, can sustainably increase production and resilience of agricultural systems. In this paper we review the performance and economic benefits of drought-tolerant maize cultivars under conventional monocropping practice, under conventional intercropping and in Conservation Agriculture (CA) as part of sustainable intensification to ensure food security for smallholder farmers.
