Project Details

Description

For this project we are interested in future harvest and best agricultural practices under changing climates. The goal is to provide Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that, using only a limited number of climate variables (temperature and precipitation) and farming practices (nitrogen fertilisation and irrigation), are able to predict harvests. For IAMs the main goal is to model the yield gap, i.e. the difference between potential and current yield. This information can then be used to design new management practices to maximise harvest output.
