Maize farmers in the Ethiopian Highlands face significant challenges due to climate variability and change. A systematic review method was employed, including a comprehensive search of academic databases focusing on peer-reviewed articles from to the present. Findings suggest that integrated crop management practices have shown an average yield increase potential of at least 15% under certain climate scenarios. The review highlights promising adaptation strategies but identifies a need for more localized and context-specific interventions. Farmers should be provided with tailored advice based on specific climatic conditions to maximise yield benefits. Model estimation used =argmin_ᵢ (yᵢ, f_ (xᵢ) ) +₂², with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
