Maize landrace diversity in Mexico

A pioneering new study throws new light on the ways that smallholder famers will be able to obtain seeds that will cope with climate change. In doing so it has the potential to help researchers and extension workers around the world in their efforts to help farmers prepare for rapidly changing growing conditions.

This video shows some of the maize landraces in Mexico studied during the project.
