The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) is a major international collaborative effort to assess the state of global agricultural modeling and to understand climate impacts on the agricultural sector.
To substantially improve the characterization of world food security as affected by climate variability and change, and to enhance adaptation capacity in both developing and developed countries.
Agricultural risks are growing - a probabilistic risk analysis is needed
Consistency is key - future studies need to use common assumptions to facilitate synthesis
Long-term solutions - translate to continuous model improvement
FEATURE
The “Austin Hackathon”
helping crop models communicate with each other
A recent AgMIP sprint, sponsored by the iPlant Collaborative and held at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, provided an opportunity for crop modeling and information technology experts to work together in creating a common language that can be used by a wide array of models.
