Description Water will be a major limitation to food production in
the 21st century, and drought issues already prevail in
many parts of the world. Finding solutions to ensure that
farmers harvest profitable crops, and secure food supplies for families and feed for animals that will provide for
them through to the next season are urgent necessities.
The Interdrought community has been addressing this
issue for almost 30 years in a series of international conferences, characterized by a multi-disciplinary approach
across the domains of molecular biology, physiology, genetics, agronomy, breeding, environmental and social sciences, policy, and systems modeling. This special issue
presents papers from the 7th edition of the conference,
the first to be held in Africa, that paid special attention
to drought in a smallholder context, adding a ‘system’ dimension to the crop focus from the previous Interdrought
events (Varshney et al., 2018; Hammer et al., 2021).
