| dc.description.abstract | The 2014/15 season was a nightmare in Malawi as the country faced floods at
the beginning of the season and then terminal drought. Most farmers lost
property and crops through flooding and water lodging while surviving crop
fields were burnt dry prematurely by the terminal drought which was
experienced towards the end of the season. As other crops suffered, the drought
tolerant bush bean which CIAT was testing in Africa RISING trials survived the
ordeal and was described as the hope towards mitigating against the effects of
climate change by both technocrats and farmers. | en_US |
