The Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS) launched in Feb 2023 by the US State Dept in partnership with @africanunion.bsky.social, #AgMIP, @fao.org, and the African Orphan Crops Consortium. Phase 1 identified a list of nutritious and regionally relevant opportunity crops in five categories.

A new #AgMIP paper in Nature Climate Change presents a novel framework for integrating nutrient dynamics into crop models, offering key insights into targeting and strengthening nutrition interventions in a changing climate. Read the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The 2025 EAT-Lancet report has officially launched! AgMIP Executive Committee members Mario Herrero and Hermann Lotze-Campen helped lead and make key contributions to the report, as well as members from the AgMIP Global Economics and GGCMI Teams. #EATLancet2025 #AgMIP

The Greenhouse Gases Flux and Modelling from Rice Workshop is underway! The workshop is taking place from Sept 1-5 at the @irriofficial.bsky.social Headquarters, Los Baños, Philippines.

🌍 Our new review shows how:
(1) Climate shocks hit food, water + health systems
(2) All forms of malnutrition are at risk
(3) Near-term events + long-term warming both drive risks
(4) Building resilience through food, social + nutrition systems is urgent. 🔗 shorturl.at/WmZki

🌾 Exciting news! The 2nd AgML Workshop will take place at UFZ Leipzig, Germany, on Nov 3–5, 2025. 🔗 Registration is now open until July 31 (In-person participants will be selected based on their profile and interest, online participation is open to all: events.hifis.net/event/2763/.

The Science-to-Policy workshop is underway at the University of Ghana! The opening session featured warm welcomes from... Dilys MacCarthy (University of Ghana) Nancy Quashie (University of Ghana) Malgosia Madajewicz (Columbia University) Cynthia Rosenzweig, virtual (NASA GISS) Laure Tall (IPAR)

In preparation for the Science-to-Policy workshop at the University of Ghana, the project's modeling experts are currently holding a pre-workshop meeting, led by Roberto Valdivia of @oregonstate.edu and @jamesthurlow.bsky.social of @ifpri.org, to co-design an integrated suite of modeling tools.

AgMIP is excited for tomorrow’s launch of the workshop, Improving Science-to-Policy Information Pathways to Support Planning and Action on Climate Change in African Agriculture, which will take place May 21-22 at the University of Ghana, in Accra.

So exciting to see our commentary out! With a super team of Yean-Uk Kim of @zalf.bsky.social, @alexruane.bsky.social of @agmip.bsky.social and @robertfinger.bsky.social, we outline needed advances for more robust risk assessments of cropping systems. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

📢 Great postdoc (3 years) opportunity in our group @cirad.bsky.social in the FairCarboN #ALAMOD project to coordinate a modeling excercice @agmip.bsky.social on #soilorganicmatter and nitrogen dynamics in tropical cropping systems. Deadline: 08/05/25 recrutement.cirad.fr/job/job-rese...

Excited for publication of our new piece (led by @lilybellesweet.bsky.social) describing vast potential and substantial challenges at the intersection of process-based crop modeling & machine learning. @agmip.bsky.social AGML team has identified many opportunities to merge existing & new expertises

If you, like us, think that these kinds of community activity are needed, we warmly invite you to get involved in AgML. So far, we've created benchmark datasets, organised a workshop, Kaggle competition and there's so much more we'd like to do - join our mailing list: mail.agml.org/mailman/list...

Accurate simulation of the provision of nitrogen by soil organic matter is critical in low-input smallholder systems. recrutement.cirad.fr/job/job-cher... Join us at Cirad - Postdoc position to help with crop model intercomparison @agmip.bsky.social

Brazilian team from Embrapa and CIMMYT at #AgMIP10 by Norman Borlaug

Thrilled to be one of many virtual participants on first day of #AgMIP10 at CIMMYT for packed agenda of plenary panels, working sessions and paper and poster presentations. Big challenges to food and Ag systems need bold scientific advances and collaborations across borders and disciplines.

#AgMIP10 is underway! This morning, we welcomed 160+ people both in-person and online to CIMMYT in El Batán, Mexico. To view the agenda and learn more about the various sessions taking place throughout the week, go to AgMIP.org/AgMIP10

Final call for AgMIP10 abstracts! The abstract submission period closes tomorrow, January 15. To submit an abstract, go to agmip.org/agmip10-abst.... The AgMIP10 Science Committee anticipates making decisions on all abstracts by late January.

AgMIP community members are participating in #AGU2024 this week! If you're at AGU2024, share your sessions and photos with us.

Announcing the AgMIP starter pack! We will regularly update our list, so reach out if you'd like to join! go.bsky.app/Cw6L6ig

AgMIP's Tenth Global Workshop will take place March 31-April 4, 2025 at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in El Batán, Mexico. Our global workshops bring together AgMIP's international modeling community to assess impacts of climate variability and change on agriculture.

Over 13 years, AgMIP has grown to 50+ initiatives, including Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison (GGCMI), Machine Learning (AgML), and crop teams such as Wheat, Soybean, Rice, and more. To learn more about AgMIP teams and initiatives, go to agmip.org.

#AgMIP is excited to join Bluesky! AgMIP is a global community of climate, crop, livestock, economics, and food security experts. Founded in 2010, AgMIP has grown to 1,200+ members and 50+ research teams. Stay tuned to learn more about past and upcoming AgMIP activities!
