6th AgMIP Global Workshop Side Sessions
Side sessions will take place on the day before (June 27th) and the day after (July 1st) AgMIP6 at the SupAgro Campus in Montpellier. See directions to the SupAgro Campus here.
These side events will comprise of workshops, training sessions, round tables, and general discussions that have been organized by the side event leaders. If you wish to participate in an open session, please contact the organizer by email beforehand as the number of places are limited in each event.
Please note that side events are only open to registered participants of AgMIP6. All side event attendees must sign up with the organizer before the session and bring photo ID for campus access.

European Impact Assessment (MACSUR/CROPM)
|
The session focuses on the planning of a
European wide assessment of climate change impacts on crops, GHG emissions,
food prices etc. The link between crop and other models, e.g. economic
models, will be considered. In the session, the focus of the study and
research questions will be refined for Europe following the general outline
of the CGRA (Coordinated Global and Regional Assessment). The main points of
an assessment protocol for a Europe wide study will be specified and next
steps planned

Nutrition Group
|
The session will focus on three topic areas:
1. What is the evidence of how diets impact
climate change? What is the evidence of how climate change is/will impact
dietary patterns and nutrition and health outcomes?
2. What are the key metrics and methods that
are needed to better understand the linkages and pathways between diets,
nutrition and health outcomes and climate change?
3. How can the nutrition and climate
communities better work together not only for modeling and scenario building
purposes but for tangible action on the ground? Which other actors need to be
involved if we want to change the food environment (i.e. private sector) in
the context of a changing world?

AgMIP Soil and Crop Rotation Phase 2
|
The AgMIP Soil session was established a year ago with the goal of running crop models in sequential mode using different management strategies and crop rotation to assess crop models’ uncertainties in simulating soil carbon, nitrogen and soil water balance dynamics in cropping systems. A secondary objective is also to compare yields simulated using the prior method of constant reinitialized soil parameters used in the wheat and maize pilot studies with the new 30-year simulations accounting for carry-over effects of soil water, carbon and nitrogen obtained by running the model in the sequential mode. In this session we aim to further discuss the results of AgMIP Soil and Crop Rotation Phase 1, and to introduce the plan for the Phase 2 of this initiative.
We envision a live discussion and participation by participants to build a solid Phase 2 of the AgMIP Soil and Crop Rotation Initiative.

Calibration
|
This session will be the first physical
meeting of a new AgMIP and MACSUR activity on crop model calibration. The
purpose of the meeting is to propose and discuss the objectives and first
concrete steps, identify the groups who will participate initially and agree
on an initial action plan.
Every modeling group has experience with
calibration, and recognizes its difficulties and importance. AgMIP provides
an opportunity for multiple modeling groups to collaborate on this subject.
The ultimate goal of the “calibration” activity is to propose “best
practices” for model calibration. This activity is open to all.

Ozone Modeling
|
Most current modelbased systems to assess
crop yields do not account for O3 as a modifying factor, despite the large
amount of experimental evidence that indicate that ground level ozone
can significanty affect crop yields as well as crop quality. This
session will bring together interested participants and try to define the
steps necessary to come to more robust assessmet of worldwide crop damage due
to ozone, and the potential to reduce this damage. The outline of the
session’s agenda:
1) Introductory presentation on background and
objectives
2) Short presentations on approaches an
applications to assess ozone damage in modeling systems
3) Lessons from an informal crop
modelintercomparison to test the sensitivity of crop models to ozone
impacts, using contrasting test conditions.
4) Strategies for developing
relatively generic ozonedamage modules that will link with multiple crop
models and further steps needed to come to a robust ozonedamage
assessment system.
Participants to the session willing to give a
short presentation are requested to contact the session organizers.
