Improving the Simulation of Climate Impacts on Agriculture: AgMIP and Related Research
Improving the Simulation of Climate Impacts on Agriculture: AgMIP and Related Research
Session ID#: 121382
Session Description:
Agricultural models simulate the effects of climate on crop yields, livestock production, farm income, and trade, making them important tools for examining food security. This session will focus on research at the interface of climate, agriculture, and economics, including results from the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP). Topics of particular interest are agricultural projections at local to global scales; impacts of climate extremes on food systems; seasonal crop forecasting; remote sensing of agricultural lands and data assimilation; interactions between climate and croplands; agricultural contributions to climate change mitigation; the food-energy-water nexus; and economic assessments of climate change on agricultural markets.
