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.
Research Approach
AgMIP research aims to substantially advance our understanding of model strengths, weaknesses, and uncertainty while also developing new approaches including data integration and transdisciplinary modeling frameworks…read more
Research Teams
Experts come together to advance crop studies, research methods, and other topics that are critical to understanding how agriculture and food systems will respond to climate and other factors now and in the future. Learn more about our 30+ teams.

NEW PAPER ON KEY DETERMINANTS OF GLOBAL LAND-USE PROJECTIONS PUBLISHED IN NATURE
May 31, 2019.
A new paper: Key determinants of global land-use projections, by Stehfest et al. 2019, was recently published in Nature. The paper builds on a recently developed sensitivity approach to improve land-use projections…
AGMIP IMPACTS EXPLORER
May 14, 2018.
The Impacts Explorer is built on stakeholder assessment and was created to bridge the gap between research outputs and easily accessible information. The goal is to create easy access to real time and future projections of risk and vulnerabilities in the agricultural sector plus implications of food security. This allows a wide variety of audiences to be able to explore farming systems vulnerability and adaptation in a changing world…
