Goal To utilize the ability to predict climate variability on the scale of months to a year to improve management and decision making in respect to crop production at local, regional, and national scales CLIMAG: CLIMATE AND AGRICULTURE

Objectives To enhance the interface between meteorological, agricultural, and social science communities To develop the capacity, in tropical regions, for the integrated use of climate and agricultural modeling leading to improved techniques for forecasting yield To establish the forecasting needs of local, regional, and national decision-makers leading to an evaluation of ways of using such information to improve decision-making in crop production Major Research Elements Climate Predictions and Agronomic data collection Crop Modelling and Yield Predictions Management Considerations and Impact Assessment CLIMAG: CLIMATE AND AGRICULTURE

A Challenge for the ESSP family.., A fundamental science question is whether the impacts of climate variability on regional crop production are best estimated by: (a)Downscaling climate models, running crop models, and scaling-up the results to regional scales Or (b) Developing regional crop models which can interface directly with large scale climate model- based information (including both statistical and mechanistic modeling approaches)

A challenge to us all…Climate is one of the many factors that affect farming systems!
