Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project 

The AgMIP Mission is to significantly improve agricultural models, and scientific and technological capabilities, for assessing impacts of climate variability and change and other driving forces on agriculture, food security, and poverty at local to global scales.

The Three AgMIP Pillars

Next-Generation Knowledge, Data, and Tools

Coordinated Global and Regional Assessments

Modeling Sustainable Farming Systems

Next-Gen Knowledge, Data, and Tools

Agricultural data stewardship and advanced tools are needed to enable sustainable production that can meet future national and international food, fiber, and bioenergy needs

Coordinated Global and Regional Assessments

CGRA uses a multi-model, multi-scale, multi-disciplinary, and multi-method framework to explore adaptation, mitigation, food policy, and food security in the face of an uncertain future

Modeling Sustainable Farming Systems

Sustainable farming systems is about assessing water; land; climate extremes and carbon-smart economically viable agricultural practices in a changing world
