I think maize is both a food crop as well as a cash crop. it's a food crop because the farmer uses it to feed himself. but he uses a small portion. it is a cash crop since he sells the rest of the produce .
The cropping intensity of a specific crop refers to the number of times that a crop is grown in a single year in a particular field. For instance the cropping intensity of the maize crop is two years.
Drought significantly impacts maize production by limiting water availability, which is crucial for seed germination, growth, and yield formation. Insufficient moisture can lead to reduced photosynthesis, stunted growth, and smaller ear sizes, ultimately decreasing overall crop yields. Additionally, drought stress can make maize plants more susceptible to pests and diseases, further compounding yield losses. Consequently, prolonged drought conditions can severely threaten food security in regions reliant on maize as a staple crop.
There are quite a few that "revolutionized" international economy. A few are maize(corn), potatoes, and beans.
This would be open to some debate, but it is most likely corn (maize). Humans get so many different products from corn, and it is in so many different other products, that life without corn would be very different.
