Outputs from MAIZE to other CRPs Inputs from other CRPs to MAIZE Joint actions between MAIZE and other
CRPs
CRP 4. Agriculture for
improved nutrition and
health.
Exploration and identification of new traits
of nutritional significance; nutritionally
enhanced germplasm, breeding
approaches and functional markers;
insights from gender, value chain analysis
that may influence the impact pathway of
nutritionally enhanced maize.
Targeting, advocacy and promotion of
biofortified maize; approaches that reduce
the asset gap between men and women,
and empower women to enhance nutrition
and health of their family; interventions to
increase the consumption of nutrient‐rich
maize especially by women, children and
other vulnerable groups.
Identify points where nutrients are lost and
gained in the value chain, and potential
interventions.
Priority setting for new traits, given
opportunities, feasibility and needs; cofunding
of technology development and
adoption in specific target countries for
nutritionally improved maize varieties
(essential amino‐acids, pro‐vitamin A and
micronutrients).
CRP 5. Durable solutions
for water scarcity and
land degradation.
Information on water, land and ecosystem
changes associated with changes in maize
technology, especially through sustainable
intensification of smallholder production,
precision agriculture and stress‐tolerant
maize.
Insights, information and analysis of trends
and broader water, land and ecosystem
resource management issues, including
how drivers of change could influence
maize production futures.
Links to national water and land policy and
the global water and environment
communities.
Scaling up results from systems research to
the landscape level.
