About AgMIP

The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) was founded in 2010 with the goal of building a worldwide community of agricultural modelers and stakeholders committed to improving the state of agricultural assessments for the years ahead. AgMIP Global workshops bring together this international community of scientists developing the next generation of integrated model systems that can inform decisions including the implementation of sustainable agricultural systems and assessments of food security in a changing world.

The combination of a warming Earth and an increasing population is expected to strain the world’s food systems in the coming decades. Food security, defined as the availability and adequate access at all times to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life, now and going forward, is at risk in many places in the world. Farmers and others in the agricultural and food sectors are faced with the quadruple task of contributing to global reductions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, coping with an already-changing climate, delivering healthy and nutritious food, and sustainably managing soil and water resources. Agriculture is being called upon to ensure both human and planetary health.

The 9th Global Workshop of AgMIP will be held at Columbia University in New York, NY, USA, June 26th-30th, 2023. 

In the past, AgMIP has hosted the international modeling community at eight Global Workshops in four different countries – including at FAO in Rome, Italy, Columbia University in New York City, the University of Florida in Gainesville, Le Corum in Montpellier, France, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture in San Jose, Costa Rica, and a virtual webshop in 2020.
