Farmers in Zimbwe's arid regions are adapting to climate change by shifting to climate-resistant grains, particularly millet, thanks to ongoing research by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). This shift aims to enhance food, nutrition, and income security. The country anticipates a 45% increase in millet yield for the 2022/23 farming season. ICRISAT is encouraged to introduce high-quality, affordable traditional grain seeds and to develop bird and animal-tolerant varieties for increased yield. The Grain Marketing Board is supporting this by allowing farmers to swap their millet or sorghum for maize under a government program.
