The impacts of climate change on risk in mixed farming systems are projected to be dependent on market, ecosystem and policy context . In mixed crop-livestock farms in a semi-arid region of Zimbabwe, Descheemaeker  found that feeding forages and grain could alleviate dry-season feed gaps to the 2050s, but their effectiveness depended on the household's livestock stocking density. In comparing different commercial production systems, Tibesigwa  found that, under South African conditions, climate change to the 2050s will reduce productivity across the agricultural sector, with the largest impacts occurring in specialised commercial crop farms owing to their relative lack of diversity. Mixed farming systems were the least vulnerable in terms of relative effects
