Summary of Project
|
This project is now in its third year of APN funding and builds on previous
work in India and Pakistan (APN 2000-17), which has established a network of
research teams with capacity to apply agricultural systems modelling to explore
and evaluate options for managing climatic risk. Building on that foundation,
the new project aims to demonstrate and deliver benefits from climate forecast
information for agricultural decision makers, and plot a course for large-scale,
sustained operational support of seasonal climate prediction within the target
countries ( India, Indonesia and Pakistan ). Activities link closely with partner
projects such as the Advanced Training Institute on Climatic Variability and
Food Security (ATI, funded by Packard Foundation) and AIACC activities in Argentina
and Uruguay. The RES AGRICOLA network ensures that tools and methodologies
developed in all these projects will be immediately available to the partner
projects.
