  • Seminar: A maize is life: A staple in South Africa

Seminar: A maize is life: A staple in South Africa by Jordan Blekking

Thursday, April 25, 2019

4:30 PM – 5:30 PM

Mathers Museum
Pile of cobs of field corn.

Jordan Blekking, a doctoral student in the IU Department of Geography, notes “maize is the most important crop in Southern Africa, both in terms of agricultural productivity and food security.” He’ll present a discussion on how maize has grown in importance across the region over the past century, primarily as a result of pro-maize policies that promote the crop above all others, but may create more adverse food security effects, and even hunger. The talk will be free and open to the public.
