The Nation (Malawi) reported on a recent IFPRI study Effect of Changes in Population Density and Crop Productivity on Farm Households by Adam Komarek and Siwa Msangi. The study suggests that, even without considering climate change, expected changes in population density and crop prices in 2050 mean that per person crop production and income may fall by 21 percent compared to 2013 values if yield potential and yield gaps remain constant.
