1 CLIP

2 Progress Before Accra: 1.Work plans developed 2.Inception workshop 3.Sites were identified 4.Data inventory 5.Models> Strengths within and training requirements During Accra 1.The process of integrated assessment 2. Possible outputs for 1 st track 3.Clarity with regards to livestock modeling (steps to be taken)

3 Regions: Available data Zimbabwe (Soil, climate, socio- economic) Malawi (Socio- economic) crop- livestock, soil and climate* Mozambique (Soil, climate, crop)> Socio- economic (other projects) South Africa (Soil, climate, crop- livestock, socio- economic)

4 Fast track site Nkayi in Zimbabwe: integrated crop livestock systems

5 After Accra Fast track: 1.Regions and data availability (matched and un- matched) 2.Selected 1 region, 1 livestock model, 2*crop models, 3 stratas 3.Livestock model (liveweight gains by biomass availability) 4.Calibration of DSSAT 5.Climate data base scenario and future (end of October) 6.Other regions> data sets 7.Deadlines

6 After Accra Project: 1.Livestock models (LivSIM and APSFARM) engage student in Zim 1.Biomass production on the rangelands 2.Effects of heat (temp) on livestock production 3.Grassland simulation models (evaluate, review) integration with livestock models 4.Some data from Matopos, Mali plus finding more data for model calibration 2.Crops 1.Detailed characteristics at farm level (Location specific (soil x mgt) 2.Model calibration for the other regions (data sets)

7 Proposed publications Crop-Livestock Integrated assessment of climate change impact on mixed crop livestock systems : testing a methodology Report of Livestock models in the context of capability > simulate livestock production and climate change Economics Developing Pathways for sustainable intensification of crop livestock systems under climate change Policy integration of RAPS – Compare effect of Climate change and other drivers on the crop-livestock systems

8 Climate Comparison of world-clim and down scaled data Comparing AGMIP methods UTC on climate Zones Note: Publications will also be done by country ( Malawi, MOZ, ZIM, Southern Africa) The list to be updated presented ones is a brainstorm

9 Planned activities 1.Planning and review eeting (proposed 2 nd week of February 2.Regional awareness + AgMIP (May-June) 3.Training and capacity building crop modeling (DSSAT??.. APSIM??)

10 Specific topics now clearer 1.Defining/developing RAPs 2.Modeling integrated crop-livestock systems (support) What needs more 1.Livestock model 2.Linkages CLIP>Coordinating team
