From 10 to 14 February 2014, three employees of the Institute of Agrophysics PAS in Lublin: Cezary Sławiński, Peter Baranowski and Jaromir Krzyszczak participated in a scientific symposium in Oslo, Norway.

This event was organized in frame of MACSUR theme CropM in collaboration with the European Society for Agronomy, AgMIP, CCAFS and other international partners. The aim of the symposium was to discuss crop models capabilities, gaps and challenges on crop modeling for food security under climate change in near and more distant future using climate change scenarios. It had four major goals:

  • to discuss the state-of-the-art and future perspectives of crop modeling and approaches for climate change risk assessment, including the challenges of integrated assessments for the agricultural sector,
  • to develop a joint vision and research agenda for crop modeling for the future,
  • to present and discuss CropM highlights and related activities and identify next steps to achieve its contribution to MACSUR goals,
  • to foster international collaboration in the interconnected research areas of food security, climate change and agrosystems modeling.
