NEW AgMIP CALIBRATION PAPER
Sep 24, 2021
The paper proposes a novel method of developing guidelines for calibration of process-based models, based on development of recommendations for calibration of the phenology component of crop models. The approach was based on a multimodel study, where all teams were provided with…
CLIMATE WEEK 2021: FOOD SYSTEMS AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Sep 15, 2021
This event aims to bring together leading experts from the food systems science and policy research communities. Food systems science and policy domains have often been siloed in academia. Bridging the gap between scientists and policy experts…

AFRICA: POOR SOILS AND LIMITED FERTILIZER USAGE MASK IMPACTS
June 15, 2021
A study coordinated by CIRAD and published in Global Change Biology assesses the impact of temperature rise on maize yields in sub-Saharan Africa. It reveals that an increase of 4°C by 2081-2100 could result in a decrease in yields of 14 to 26%. Rain fed cereal production – without irrigation – is crucial for food security in sub-Saharan Africa…
AgMIP8 VIRTUAL WEBSHOP RECAP
Nov 25, 2020.
The AgMIP8 Virtual Webshop took place from October 12 – 16th and showcased three themes central to AgMIP’s research and development – food systems, shocks, and actions. The free, virtual event had over 1000 registrants and encouraged involvement amongst those new to food systems as well as experts within agriculture and nutrition fields…
CLIMATE CHANGE RESPONSES BENEFIT FROM A GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM APPROACH
Feb 18, 2020.
A paper released today by the journal Nature Food presents a new global food system approach to climate change research that brings together agricultural production, supply chains, and consumption…
AgMIP BECOMES A GRA PARTNER
Oct 9, 2019.
The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) brings governments, research institutions, and other organizations together to find ways to grow more food (and more climate-resilient food systems) without increasing greenhouse gas emissions. It has 57 member countries from all regions of the world…
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.
