# Climate change could affect the second corn harvest in Brazil - Revista Cultivar

> A FAPESP-supported study led by Unicamp's Nepam warns that climate change could bring extreme droughts to Brazil's main farming regions. These droughts could hit the safrinha second corn harvest, grown January to April in the Center-South. The findings were presented at a June 16 online seminar.
