Global Maize Project
The Global Maize project is an interdisciplinary, international research effort with an overall objective of creating local, ecological intensification (EI) practices for maize production that increase yields at a faster pace than current farmer practices. Such improvements are needed to meet demands for environmental improvement and security of feed, fiber, food, and fuel supplies. The basis of the Global Maize project is ecological intensification (EI).
