Corn was first domesticated roughly 10,000 years ago in central Mexico by selecting desirable traits of teosinte, a species of wild grass

A research team recently studied the use of intercropping—growing more than one crop per season—on hilly land

Researchers say diverse agroecosystems are more resilient to variable weather from climate change
